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.

CI: Confidence interval

1 Results are from a single study at risk of bias regarding blinding of outcome assessment and participants.
2 Results are from a single study with few patients and few events and thus have wide confidence intervals around the estimate of the effect.
3 Confidence intervals not provided.
