Non-parametric regression smoother of pooled quantitative data assessing correlation between Abbott ARCHITECT HCV Core Ag measured in log fmol/L and HCV RNA measured in log IU/mL. The red line indicates the positivity threshold of the core antigen index test corresponding to 3 fmol/L.
HCV = hepatitis C virus, Ag = antigen, fmol/L = femtomoles per liter, IU = international units, RNA = ribonucleic acid
