The mean improvement in the control group was

The mean improvement in the intervention groups was
5.4 (2.38 to 8.42) points greater for TRS subscale B and 5.7 (2.66 to 8.74) points greater for TRS subscale C.

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. 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).

AE: adverse event; CI: confidence interval; RR: risk ratio; TRS: Tremor Rating Scale.

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 Downgraded due to serious risk of bias: high number of study withdrawals (attrition bias); blinding of outcome assessment probably revealed by the presence of serious AEs in the topiramate group: trials should be regarded as single blind (detection bias); potential conflicts of interest due to the presence of authors sponsored by pharmaceutical companies.
2 Downgraded due to serious indirectness: uncertainty about the relevance of the reported TRS‐score changes as indicators of important clinical improvement.

3 Downgraded due to imprecision: small sample size (< 300 participants) and small number of included studies (three).
