High level of statistical heterogeneity between studies; therefore meta‐analysis not completed

*The risk in the intervention group (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; RCT: randomized controlled trial; RR: risk ratio

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High certainty: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect.
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.
Low certainty: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect.
Very low certainty: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect.

aWe downgraded by one level for risk of performance bias due to the lack of blinding.
bWe downgraded by one level for inconsistency because we noted considerable statistical heterogeneity.
cWe downgraded by one level for imprecision because the confidence intervals indicated possible benefits as well as harms.
dWe downgraded by two levels for imprecision because the frequency of events was small and the confidence intervals indicated possible benefits as well as harms.
eWe downgraded by two levels for inconsistency because we noted extremely high statistical heterogeneity (I2 = 96%).
