Figure 1 Forest plot of sensitivity and specificity for immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based determination of ROS1 rearrangement positivity compared with fluorescence in situ hybridization. Pooled estimate of sensitivity and specificity based on bivariate analysis of included studies. All included studies used an IHC staining intensity of at least 2+ with a D4D6 antibody to define ROS1 rearrangement positivity. Abbreviations: FN, false-negative; FP, false-positive; TN, true-negative; TP, true-positive.

Figure 2 Forest plot of sensitivity and specificity for immunohistochemistry-based determination of ALK translocation positivity compared with fluorescence in situ hybridization. Pooled estimate of sensitivity and specificity based on bivariate analysis of included studies. Included studies assessed 5A4, D5F3, or either 5A4 or D5F3 antibodies with positivity cutoffs based on either presence of any staining or staining intensity. Abbreviations: FN, false-negative; FP, false-positive; neg, negative; pos, positive; TN, true-negative; TP, true-positive.

Figure 3 Forest plot of sensitivity and specificity for various assays determining EGFR mutation positivity with cell-free DNA compared with tumor tissue. Pooled estimate of sensitivity and specificity based on bivariate analysis of included studies. Four included studies compared tumor tissue samples with plasma samples using the same detection system,234,235,242,243 and a fifth study232 obtained plasma samples from patients with known EGFR and KRAS tumor mutation status. Abbreviations: ARMs, amplification refractory mutation system; ddPCR, droplet digital PCR; FN, false-negative; FP, false-positive; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; PNA/LNA, peptide nucleic acid–locked nucleic acid; TN, true-negative; TP, true-positive.
