What is the probability that higher versus lower quality of evidence represents true effects estimates?
This study confirmed linear relationship between CoE and the probability of potentially 'true' estimates. We found that the probability of potentially "true" estimates decreases by about 20% for each drop in CoE (from about 80% for high to 55% for moderate to 35% to low and 15% to very low CoE).
