*The basis for the assumed risk was the mean control group risk across studies. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio.

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 Trials were of high risk of bias.
2 The seriousness of the outcomes was based on the study authors' judgement.
3 The confidence intervals overlap 1 and 0.75 or 1.25, or both.
4 Fewer than 300 events (in both groups).
5 There were few trials to assess whether there was any publication bias.
6 The I‐squared value was high.
7 There were less than 400 patients in both the groups together and the confidence intervals overlap 0 and ‐0.25 and/or +0.25.
