In some studies it is difficult to distinguish between
the findings of the study and the conclusions. In those
cases, please code the trustworthiness of this combined
results/conclusion.

Consider your answers to questions F9, F13, F14, F15,
F17, H3 & H4

I.4.1 High trustworthiness (please specify)

I.4.2 Medium trustworthiness (please specify)

I.4.3 Low trustworthiness (please specify)

I.5 Have sufficient attempts been made to justify the conclusions drawn from the findings so that
the conclusions are trustworthy?

I.5.1 Not applicable (results and conclusions inseparable)

I.5.2 High trustworthiness

I.5.3 Medium trustworthiness

I.5.4 Low trustworthiness

I.6 In light of the above, do the reviewers differ from the authors over the findings or conclusions
of the study?

Please state what any difference is.

I.6.1 Not applicable (no difference in conclusions)

I.6.2 Yes (please specify)

and question E9 (the HCHHHU)

Studies where little information is provided to answer
these questions and/or coordination/ integration is only
a small part of the study should be graded lower

I.8.1 High

I.8.2 Medium

I.8.3 Low

I.9 Weight of evidence D: Taking into account your answers to Weight of Evidence A, B, & C, what
is the overall weight of evidence this study provides to answer the question of this specific
systematic review?

Overall Weight of Evidence D =

WOE A + WOE B + WOE C/ 3

Where High = 3, Medium = 2, Low = 1

Except that WOE D cannot be higher than Weight of
Evidence B

I.9.1 High

I.9.2 Medium
