MPM vs all PE
SMRP	0.8166	0.7517 to 0.8816	0.033	< 0.0001
IL‐7	0.5663	0.4851 to 0.6475	0.041	0.1059
EM vs all PE
SMRP	0.8152	0.7545 to 0.8758	0.030	< 0.0001
IL‐7	0.6058	0.5184 to 0.6931	0.044	0.0171

AUC, area under the curve; BPE, benign pleural effusion; EM, epithelioid mesothelioma; MPM, malignant pleural mesothelioma; PE, pleural effusion; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; SE, standard error.
