Pooled sensitivity and specificity with sROC reporting four developmental outcomes detected by any MRI abnormality (including white matter abnormality, brain abnormality or diffuse excessive high signal intensity using ‘normal/mild vs. moderate/severe’ cut-off). a (n = seven studies): pooled sensitivity 77 % (53 to 91 %) and specificity 79 % (51 to 93 %). b (n = seven studies): pooled sensitivity 72 % (52 to 86 %) and specificity 62 % (29 to 87 %). c (n = seven studies): pooled sensitivity 66 % (41 to 84 %) and specificity 53 % (35 to 71 %). d (n = four studies): pooled sensitivity 61 % (34 to 83 %) and specificity 85 % (75 to 92 %). The individual studies are visualized as squares with the horizontal axis corresponding to the total non-diseased neonates and vertical axis the total diseased neonates of that particular study population, i.e., a flat square represents a low prevalence of the disease, and the surface of the square represents the size of the study population
