Study	Reason for exclusion
Ali 2004	Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study.
Arantes 2010	Prognostic study; not enough data available to allow for diagnostic accuracy comparison with coronary angiography.
Braun 1984	No index tests for comparison.
Brown 1989	Prognostic study; not enough data available to allow for diagnostic accuracy comparison with coronary angiography.
Caglar 2006	Patient population not consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients; coronary angiography only provided to patients who tested positive to other tests.
Camp 1990	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Cortigiani 2005	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Cottier 1990	Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study.
Cross 1996	Prognostic study; not enough data available to allow for diagnostic accuracy comparison with coronary angiography.
Dahan 1995	Patient population not entirely consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data for potential transplant recipients not available.
Dahan 1998	Patient population not entirely consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data for potential transplant recipients not available.
Dahan 2002	Patient population not entirely consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data for potential transplant recipients not available.
De Vriese 2009	Patient population not entirely consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Roughly 1/3 of the patients that were included in the study were being evaluated for kidney transplantation. The others consented to have the evaluation as a screening test, because the authors explained to them that the majority of patients with CAD on dialysis are asymptomatic (author communication). Separate data for potential transplant recipients not available.
Derfler 1991	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Dussol 2004	Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study, only performed on patients who were index test positive.
Eschertzhuber 2005	Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study.
Feola 2002	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Fossati 2004	Data insufficient to construct appropriate 2 x 2 table.
Fujimoto 2006	This was a study of diagnostic accuracy but the patient population did not consist entirely of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data on patients who were potential transplant recipients not available.
Fukui 2005	This was a study of diagnostic accuracy but the patient population did not consist entirely of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data on patients who were potential transplant recipients not available.
Fuster 2000	Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study, only performed on patients who were index test positive.
Holley 1991	Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study; data insufficient to construct appropriate 2 x 2 table.
Iqbal 1991	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.

Krotin 2007	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Langford 1997	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Le 1994	Prognostic study; not enough data available to allow for diagnostic accuracy comparison with coronary angiography.
Leonardi 2009	Single centre case experience; not a study of diagnostic accuracy.
Lewis 2002	Prognostic study; not enough data available to allow for diagnostic accuracy comparison with coronary angiography.
Lin 2001	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Ma 2006	Coronary angiography only used in those with high risk scores.
Manske 1997	Data insufficient to construct appropriate 2 x 2 table.
Mao 2010	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Mistry 1998	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Morrow 1983	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Nguyen 2007	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Nishimura 2004	This was a study of diagnostic accuracy but the patient population did not consist entirely of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data on patients who were potential transplant recipients not available.
Ohtake 2005	This was a study of diagnostic accuracy but the patient population did not consist entirely of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data on patients who were potential transplant recipients not available.
Oliveira 2005	Only coronary angiography studied. No other index tests present.
Patel 2003	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Patel 2008	Coronary angiography not routinely performed on patients in study.
Philipson 1986	Reference standard differentially applied to different treatment groups; unable to construct meaningful 2 x 2 table.
Porter 2003	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Rakhit 2006	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Robinson 2007	This was a study of diagnostic accuracy but the patient population did not consist entirely of patients who are potential transplant recipients. Separate data on patients who were potential transplant recipients not available.
Russell 1993	Prognostic study; not enough data available to enable diagnostic accuracy comparison with coronary angiography.
Schmidt 2001	Patient population not exclusively consisting of patients who are potential transplant recipients; patients were either those who were on long‐term RRT, or who had undergone successful renal transplantation. Separate data on patients who were potential transplant recipients not available.
Sharma 2007	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
Tita 2008	Coronary angiography not used as reference standard.
