The cells show the estimate value and 95% CIs.

CI, confidence interval; DFS, disease-free survival; LRN, likelihood ratio negative; LRP, lihelihood ratio positive; NB, net benefit; NPV, negative predictive value; OS, overall survival; PPV, positive predictive value; Rd, distant recurrence; TCU, threshold of clinical utility.
