CI: Confidence interval

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: we are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 The majority of the trials were assessed as high risk of bias studies
2 All point estimates favour music although the magnitude of the effect differs across studies
3 Wide confidence interval, however, this is due to the fact that some studies reported very large beneficial effects of music on anxiety
4 Large reduction in anxiety as evidenced by SMD of 1.11
5 Results were inconsistent across studies as evidenced by I² = 62%
6 Somewhat wide confidence interval
7 Wide confidence interval
