Evidence Description
RCTs of disease endpoint Number of independent RCTs evaluating the effect of the risk on the disease endpoint % of independent RCTs showing significant effect in the opposite direction % of independent RCTs showing no effect Prospective observational studies of disease endpoint Number of independent prospective observational studies evaluating the association of the risk with the disease endpoint % of independent prospective observational studies with significant association in the
Strength Lower Limit of RR in observational studies> 1.5 (Yes/No) Dose response Evidence of the dose-response relationship between the risk and the outcome(Yes/No) Biologic plausibility Potential biologic mechanism that could explain the effect of the risk on the disease endpoint (Yes/No) Analogy Evidence on the relationship between the risk factor and a disease endpoint from the same category (Yes/No)
