Figure 2 Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves of mNGS using different reference standards. (A) When culture was used as the reference standard, the Area Under Curve (AUC) of mNGS was 0.731 (95% CI: 0.654–0.897); (B) When MSIS was used as the reference, the AUC of mNGS was 0.826 (95% CI: 0.786–0.964).
