Grade Quality of evidence Meaning
A High We are confident that the true effect lies close to the estimate of the effect.
B Moderate The true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different.
C Low The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect.
D Very low The estimate of effect is very uncertain, and often will be far from the truth.
