2. Fig. 1
Summary receiver-operating characteristic (SROC) curve plot of procalcitonin for the diagnosis of bacteraemia, including all studies (n = 58). Individual studies are shown as open circles. Summary point is shown as a closed square, representing sensitivity estimates pooled by using bivariate random-effects regression model. The area under the SROC curve (dashed line) is 0.79, pooled sensitivity is 76% and specificity is 69%. The 95% confidence region displays the 95% confidence interval of the pooled sensitivity and specificity. The 95% prediction region is the region for a forecast of the true sensitivity and specificity in a future study.

Evaluation of publication bias. The Deeks funnel plot asymmetry test was nonsignificant (p 0.13). Individual studies are shown as open circles and the interrupted line represents the regression line; ESS, effective sample size.
