From: Methodological challenges in appraising evidence on diagnostic testing for WHO guidelines on hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus infection

Level of evidence

Rationale

High

Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.

Moderate

Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the effect.

Low

Further research is very likely to have an estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.

Very low

Any estimate of effect is very uncertain.
