Summary positive and negative likelihood ratios of sputum Gram stain in community-acquired pneumonia. Diamonds represent point estimates. Extending lines represent the 95% credible interval of each estimate. Bold (drawn at 10 and 0.1) and thin (drawn at 5 and 0.2) dashed vertical lines represent clinically important thresholds that would make large and moderate shifts, respectively, in probability. Abbreviations: CrI, credible interval; DIC, deviance information criteria; NLR, negative likelihood ratio; PLR, positive likelihood ratio; US, United States.
