Figure 2 Forest Plot of Sensitivity and Specificity
(A, B) Forest plot of patient-level sensitivity and specificity of stress perfusion imaging compared with coronary angiography. (C, D) Forest plot of patient level sensitivity and specificity of stress-induced wall motion abnormalities imaging compared with coronary angiography. Solid squares = point estimate of each study (area indicates relative contribution of the study to meta-analysis); horizontal lines = 95% confidence interval (CI).

Figure 3 Plot of Conditional Probabilities for PI and IWMA
Post-test probabilities are shown as a function of pretest probability for patients with positive results on perfusion imaging (PI), positive results on wall motion abnormalities imaging (IWMA), negative results on PI, and negative results on IWMA.
