  • 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— Any estimate of effect is very uncertain
