Table 8.

The symbols for each LOE in Table 7 are used in this table to show a concise overview of the ranking categories used for all LOEs. While an explicit definition of each each LOE is given in Table 9 (supplementary material), it is possible to derive the same definitions from the columns in this table. For example, the column for LOE-1 shows that the LOE for group “A” (Table 7) consists of the evidence types represented by two ranking categories (Table 6): pk-ct-pk and label-statement.
