Nope. It means they display as a *meta* test type. That is,
the line will aggregate (*sum* up) several test types into
one line at the users' discretion (read, configuration).
This is useful to aggregate test types which are named
slightly differently (switch of lab, switch of name at the
lab, switch of method at the lab, self report as opposed to
in-praxis, ...) but really do mean the same thing (even if
maybe only to the user and not necessarily stricly speaking
in scientific terms).

The sum sign is orthogonal to panels.

I suppose all this can benefit from more documentation on
the Wiki ;-)
