Flaws in the design, conduct, analysis, and reporting of randomised trials can cause effect an intervention to be underestimated or overestimated. The Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk bias aims make process clearer more accurate
Guidelines are inconsistent in how they rate the quality of evidence and strength recommendations. This article explores advantages GRADE system, which is increasingly being adopted by organisations worldwide

The GRADE system can be used to grade the quality of evidence and strength recommendations for diagnostic tests or strategies. This article explains how patient-important outcomes are taken into account in this process
A number of approaches have been used to grade levels evidence and the strength recommendations. The use many different detracts from one main reasons for having explicit approaches: concisely characterise communicate this information so that it can easily be understood thereby help people make well-informed decisions. Our objective was critically appraise six prominent systems grading recommendations as a basis agreeing on characteristics common, sensible approach recommendations.Six were...
