Figure 5

Dot plot depicting distribution of scores for lymphocytic infiltration in 35 invasive breast cancers evaluated by the 13 pathologists. The slide number of the individual breast cancer is provided above each boxed entry. Grids at top and bottom represent individual pathologists, with the reference standard at 1. Although agreement appears low, when collapsed into a binary score (absent or mild vs moderate or marked) the accuracy of classification with respect to the reference standard was quite high (mean, 73.7–92.9%).
