Figure 8. Summary receiver operator curve plot of sensitivity versus specificity for performance of different
tests versus coronary angiography: indirect comparison MPS versus DSE, according to presence of partial
verification. Each symbol represents a study, with the height and width of each symbol being proportional to
the inverse standard error of the sensitivity and specificity respectively. The curves represent the summary
receiver operator characteristic curves for MPS and DSE. The circles represent the summary estimate of test
performance and the zone outline surrounding it represents the 95% confidence region of this summary
estimateDSE: dobutamine stress echocardiography; MPS: myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.
