Fig. 2

Hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) plots of uNGAL (a), uNGAL after removing Hollmen’s study (b) and bNGAL (c) level to predict DGF in kidney transplant recipients. The curves are represented by the straight lines; Each of the analyzed studies is represented by a circle; the point estimate to which summary sensitivity (SENS) and specificity (SPEC) correspond is represented by the diamond shape, and the respective 95% CI, by the dashed lines, whereas the 95% confidence area in which a new study will be located is represented by the dotted lines
