Figure Post-test probability of tuberculosis based on the sensitivity and specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF and Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Xpert Ultra) assays, as observed in two recent studies2,7 (A) Constructed using Xpert and Xpert Ultra sensitivity (0·83 vs 0·88) and specificity (0·98 vs 0·96) on sputum samples, as observed in the study by Dorman and colleagues.2 (B) Constructed using the sensitivity of Xpert (0·43) and Xpert Ultra (0·70) on cerebrospinal fluid, as observed in the study by Bahr and colleagues.7 The specificity is arbitrarily set at 0·99 with the assumption that false-positive results in cerebrospinal fluid are highly unlikely, as explained by Bahr and colleagues.7 The green lines indicate the post-test probability of tuberculosis using a test without diagnostic value, which equals the pre-test probability (x=y). The blue lines indicate the positive predictive value of Xpert (dashed line) and Xpert Ultra (continuous line), which is the proportion of true positive results. The red lines indicate the proportion of false-negative results for Xpert (dashed line) and Xpert Ultra (continuous line), which equals 1 minus the negative predictive value. The vertical dashed lines in each panel indicate the prevalence of tuberculosis in each study. The arrows between the blue lines indicate the change of the positive predictive value if Xpert Ultra replaces Xpert (decrease in panel A and increase in panel B). The arrows between the red lines indicate the change in the rate of false-negative results if Xpert Ultra replaces Xpert (decrease in both panels). The Bayes graph creator can be used to compare any two tests for which the sensitivity and specificity are known (appendix).
