Table of Methodological Quality
Item	Authors' judgement	Description
Representative spectrum? All tests	Yes	Patients who presented for cardiac evaluation before kidney transplantation.
Acceptable reference standard? All tests	Yes	Coronary angiography with a reference standard threshold of ≥ 70% stenosis.
Acceptable delay between tests? All tests	Yes	All coronary angiography was performed from two weeks to three months after the other tests (author correspondence).
Partial verification avoided? All tests	Yes	All participants who underwent the index test also had the reference standard test.
Differential verification avoided? All tests	Yes	Disease status (CAD) diagnosed by coronary angiography.
Incorporation avoided? All tests	Yes	Disease status (CAD) diagnosed by coronary angiography.
Reference standard results blinded? All tests	Yes	Coronary angiography result was reported by a cardiology team member who was unaware of other test results (author correspondence).
Index test results blinded? All tests	Yes	MIBI scan and DSE results were interpreted by clinical and technical experts without knowledge of the other. Both were conducted before coronary angiography.
Relevant clinical information? All tests	Yes	Relevant clinical information was provided concerning the performance and analysis of both the index and reference tests (author correspondence).
Uninterpretable results reported? All tests	Yes	There were no uninterpretable results.
Withdrawals explained? All tests	Yes	There were no withdrawals reported.
