Evidence grade

G_EVIDENCE_GRADE

What does this word mean?

The strength-of-evidence label the site attaches to every claim, ranging from human RCT through human observational, animal, cell and in vitro, review, correction notice and retraction.

Site red line

In vitro and animal studies are never presented as clinical efficacy, and every efficacy statement carries an explicit evidence grade rather than standing as a bare claim.

Expanded note

In vitro and animal studies are never presented as clinical efficacy, and every efficacy statement carries an explicit evidence grade rather than standing as a bare claim.
