Scientists construct summary displays by plotting statistical parameters, such as the mean, median, distribution, standard deviations, confidence intervals (CIs) and, with some advanced techniques, outliers, of the ensemble members (Whitaker, Mirzargar, & Kirby, 2013).
We used a meta-analytic method to construct summary receiver-operating characteristic curves.
Values of kappa between 0.40 and 0.59 have been considered to reflect fair agreement, between 0.60 and 0.8 to reflect good agreement and 0.75 or more to reflect excellent agreement 44 Where meta-analysis is not appropriate (excessive heterogeneity of population, intervention, comparator, outcome or methodology), we will construct summary tables and provide a narrative synthesis.
Our research goal was to test a MeSH-based approach for reducing full text documents and constructing summaries.
We also constructed summary ROC for presepsin, and the result showed that the AUC was 0.88 (95% CI 0.85 0.90, Fig. 5a).
We constructed summary statistics quantifying aspects of the four pain modalities.
Using bivariate regression, we calculated pooled estimates of sensitivity (SEN) and specificity (SPE) as the main outcome measures, and we constructed summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves [ 14].
BZ, MG, and DS conducted the analyses, constructed summary of findings tables, and evaluated the quality of evidence using the GRADE approach.
The number of possible methods for constructing summary trees, coupled with the number of ways of assessing the results can be overwhelming.
