*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% CI) 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; OR: Odds 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

1 Downgraded 1 level for serious risk of bias: 6 in 10 studies high risk for detection bias as outcome assessors were not blinded, various studies with unclear selection bias and selection bias

2 Downgraded 1 level for serious risk of bias: high risk as not stated if pathologists measuring EH regression were blinded, and unclear allocation concealment and reporting bias.

3 Substantial heterogeneity for this comparison (I² = 66%), but the quality of the evidence was not downgraded for inconsistency, as the direction of effect was consistent.

4 Downgraded 1 level for serious imprecision with few events and wide confidence intervals.

5 Downgraded 1 level for serious risk of bias: all 4 studies high risk as participants/assessors were not blinded for outcome assessment of subjective measures and in 2 studies blinding of the pathologist was not mentioned. Selective reporting assessed as unclear in 3 of studies.

6 Downgraded 1 level for serious risk of bias: all studies with high risk of performance and detection bias (no blinding of participants to LNG‐IUS and self‐evaluation of adverse effects); other studies with high risk of attrition bias, and unclear allocation concealment and selective reporting.

7 Downgraded 1 level for serious inconsistency; unexplained inconsistency, with point estimates widely different in studies and confidence intervals not overlapping.

8 Downgraded 1 level for serious risk of bias: all 4 studies with high risk of performance and detection bias, 1 study with high risk of attrition bias, 2 studies with unclear allocation concealment and 3 with unclear selective reporting, 1 study with unclear selection bias.

9 Downgraded 2 levels for very serious risk of bias: both studies with high risk of performance and detection bias, 1 in 2 studies with high risk of attrition bias, both studies with unclear allocation concealment and selective reporting, 1 study with unclear selection bias.

10 Downgraded 1 level for serious imprecision: small sample size.
