“…We conducted two primary analyses based on the criteria for test positivity: Regarding the Activity > background group, 18 of the included studies employed a qualitative criterion for test positivity based on the relative activation between the lymph nodes and the surrounding tissue (Bille 2013; Chen 2010; De Wever 2007;Gunluoglu 2011;Harders 2012;Jeon 2010;Kim 2007;Kuo 2012;Lee 2007;Lee 2009a;Li 2012a;Plathow 2008;Shin 2008;Tasci 2010;Toba 2010;Yang 2008;Yang 2010;Yi 2008). The summary sensitivity and specificity estimates for this criterion for test positivity were 77.4% (95% CI 65.3 to 86.1) and 90.1% (95% CI 85.3 to 93.5), respectively.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
