Aunque las recomendaciones generales para la lectura crítica de un metanálisis de pruebas diagnósticas son similares a las del metanálisis de estudios de tratamiento, existen aspectos específicos que deben conocerse para su correcta valoración. Destacamos el estudio del efecto umbral, la elección de la medida de síntesis y la forma de representar el resultado global con las curvas ROC específicas. ABSTRACT An unfairly treated genius. Meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy. Although the general recommendations for the critical appraisal of a meta-analysis of diagnostic tests are similar to those of the treatment meta-analysis, there are specific aspects that should be known for their correct assessment. We highlight the study of the threshold effect, the choice of the synthesis measure and the way to represent the overall result with the specific ROC curves.
