∗The control risk is based on the median risk of the control group of each study. The intervention risk (and its 95% CI) is based on the control risk in the control group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).CI: confidence interval, RR: risk ratio. GRADE Working Group grades of evidence: (1) High certainty: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect; (2) Moderate certainty: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate. The true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different; (3) Low certainty: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited. The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect; (4) Very low certainty: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate. ⊕⊕⊕⊕ represents high-quality evidence; ⊕⊕⊕⊝ represents moderate-quality evidence; ⊕⊕⊖⊖ represents low-quality evidence. |
