Meta-Analysis of Antinuclear Antibodies in the Diagnosis of Antimitochondrial Antibody-Negative Primary Biliary Cholangitis

Figure 3

Forest plot of the sensitivity and specificity of ANAs for the diagnosis of AMA-negative PBC. In order to distinguish different ANAs, we listed both the author name with publication years and the different categories of ANAs. That will lead to one study with more than one forest plot in Figure 3. The first author, published years, and types of ANAs are shown together with sensitivities, specificities, and 95% confidence interval. Combined sensitivities and specificities are also shown with the results of the test and the test. Abbreviations: ANAs: antinuclear antibodies; AMA: antimitochondrial antibody; PBC: primary biliary cholangitis.
