Figure 2 is a scatter plot of the diagnostic accuracy of site-specific testing for female chlamydial infection. On the x-axis is sensitivity and on the y-axis is specificity. There is a legend that describes the symbols used to represent data points. Squares represent diagnostic accuracy for endocervical tests. Diamonds represent diagnostic accuracy of self-collected vaginal tests. Circles represent diagnostic accuracy of clinician-collected vaginal tests. X represents diagnostic accuracy of urethral tests. Plus signs represent diagnostic accuracy of urine tests. For endocervical tests, sensitivity in six studies ranged from 89 to 95.8 percent, and one study 51.9 percent; specificity in seven studies ranged from 99.2 to 100 percent. For self-collected vaginal tests, sensitivity in seven studies ranged from 90.1 to 100 percent, and one study 51.9 percent; specificity in eight studies ranged from 99.0 to 100 percent. For clinician-collected vaginal tests, sensitivity in four studies ranged from 89.9 to 100 percent, and one study 55.6 percent; specificity in five studies ranged from 98.8 to 100 percent. For urethral tests in three studies, sensitivity ranged from 88.1 to 97.3 and specificity ranged from 98.2 to 99.8. For urine tests in six studies, sensitivity ranged from 72 to 97.9 percent, and one study 44.4 percent; specificity ranged from 98.1 to 100 percent. Data represented in this figure is also reported in in Table 5.
