[Retracted] Urinary Angiogenin as a Marker for Bladder Cancer: A Meta-Analysis

Table 2

Results of the Spearman rank correlation of sensitivity against () to assess the threshold effect in all test accuracy studies included in meta-analysis for diagnosing ANG in patients with bladder cancer.

Analysis of diagnostic threshold
Spearman correlation coefficient: 0.600,
Logit (TPR) vs. logit (FPR)
Where log represents the natural logarithm.
