Descriptors for levels of evidence (EPOC 2015):
High quality: This research provides a very good indication of the likely effect. The likelihood that the effect will be substantially different is low.
Moderate quality: This research provides a good indication of the likely effect. The likelihood that the effect will be substantially different is moderate.
Low quality: This research provides some indication of the likely effect. However, the likelihood that it will be substantially different is high.
Very low quality: This research does not provide a reliable indication of the likely effect. The likelihood that the effect will be substantially different is very high.

Substantially different: a large enough difference that it might affect a decision.
