Graphic display of Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) results. Methodologic design and reporting quality of studies included in the meta-analysis according to risk of bias and applicability concerns using the QUADAS-2 tool. Judgments about each methodologic quality item are presented as percentages across all included studies.

4. Figure 3
Forest plot of individual study estimates of sensitivity and specificity. Accuracy of MRI for estimating liver iron overload in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis or transfusional overload (thalassemia, sickle cell disease, myelodysplastic syndrome). Only studies reporting results for greater than 7 mg Fe/g dry liver weight biopsy threshold were included. CI, confidence interval; FN, false negative; FP, false positive; TN, true negative; TP, true positive.

5. Figure 4
Hierarchical SROC (HSROC) curve of sensitivity vs specificity. Performance of MRI for estimating liver iron concentration in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis or transfusional overload (thalassemia, sickle cell disease, myelodysplastic syndrome). Only studies reporting results for greater than 7 mg Fe/g dry liver weight biopsy threshold were included. Each circle represents a study, with the size being proportional to the study size. The solid curve represents the HSROC curve.

Conditional probability plots to explore the clinical utility of MRI. Clinical utility of (A) T2 SE and (B) T2* GRE sequences for detecting patients with liver iron overload (>7 mg Fe/g dry liver weight) in all possible pretest (prior) probabilities. CI, confidence interval.

7. Supplementary Figure 1
Hierarchical SROC (HSROC) curve of sensitivity vs specificity for different MRI modalities. Performance of (A) T2 SE and (B) T2* GRE sequences for estimating the liver iron concentration in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis or transfusional overload (thalassemia, sickle cell disease, myelodysplastic syndrome). Each circle represents a study. The solid curve and respective solid points represent the HSROC curve and summary estimates of test performance, respectively. The dashed outlines surrounding them represent the 95% confidence region of these summary estimates.

Hierarchical SROC (HSROC) curve of sensitivity vs specificity for different liver iron concentration thresholds. Performance of MRI for estimating the liver iron concentration in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis or transfusional overload (thalassemia, sickle cell disease, myelodysplastic syndrome) in studies reporting results with a biopsy positivity threshold of (A) 2 and (B) 15 mg Fe/g dry liver weight. Each circle represents a study, with the size being proportional to the study size. The solid curve represents the HSROC curve.
