A | High | Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.Several high-quality studies with consistent results. In special cases: one large, high-quality multicentre trial.

B | Moderate | Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
|
C | Low | 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.
