Fig. 3 Summary of the risk of bias and applicability concerns. Judgments of the review authors for each domain for each study included as listed in Table 1. European Urology 2015 67, 1112-1121DOI: (10.1016/j.eururo.2014.10.033) Copyright © 2014 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions
Fig. 4 Hierarchic summary receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plot (solid line) plot and summary point (●) with 95% confidence interval (circled area). The dashed line is the line of no discrimination line (area under the curve of 0.5, meaning a worthless test). Squares denote data from individual studies included in the meta-analysis, with the size of each square indicating the relative size of the study population.

Fig. 6 Linear regression test of funnel plot asymmetry. The statistical nonsignificance (p=0.36) for the slope coefficient suggests a low likelihood of publication bias. Numbers in the data circles indicate the study numbers as listed in Table 1.
