สรุป	Meta-analytic screening test evaluation is a quantitative evidence-synthesis approach that pools sensitivity, specificity, and related accuracy indices across multiple primary studies of the same screening or diagnostic test. It produces summary estimates of a test's ability to correctly identify disease-positive and disease-negative individuals, typically using the bivariate random-effects model or the Hierarchical Summary ROC (HSROC) framework, and visualises results with summary ROC curves and forest plots.	ROC analysis evaluates how well a continuous or ordinal test variable discriminates between two binary outcome classes. By plotting the true positive rate (sensitivity) against the false positive rate (1 − specificity) across all decision thresholds, it produces a curve whose area under the curve (AUC) quantifies overall discriminative power, ranging from 0.5 (chance) to 1.0 (perfect discrimination).
