Figures in diagnostic reviews

Generally, using figures in diagnostic reviews work like in intervention reviews (see Figures generated by RevMan). But some of the diagnostic review figures have additional properties, described below.

SROC plots properties

Label SROC curves - show the test name next to the curve.

Show study names - show the Study ID next to each data point.

Autogenerate numbers for study names – if too many or studies overlap considerably, instead of labelling with study names, study points can be labelled with numbers with a legend added to the plot for the study numbers and corresponding study names

Risk of bias and applicability concerns graph properties

Drawing options

Show number of studies on plot - adds the number of studies for each response category to each bar on the plot.

Select index test group(s) to display

Filter plot by studies in selected test groups - use this to only use the studies in the select test groups for this graph. By using this option you can create multiple graphs each limited to a subset of test groups.   

Index test domains - use this to select the test groups to include.

Risk of bias and applicability concerns summary properties

Select index test group(s) to display

Filter plot by studies in selected test groups - use this to only use the studies in the select test groups for this summary. By using this option you can create multiple summaries each limited to a subset of test groups.   

Index test domains - use this to select the test groups to include.
