Grade

Definition

High

We are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect.

Moderate

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

Our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect.

Very low

We have very little confidence in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect.
