Abstract
This 17th article for ‘Tips and Tricks for Understanding and Using SR results’ in Evidence‐Based Child Health is, like the previous ones, aimed at helping readers to understand the results of systematic reviews and to use the results in clinical practice. This time, we focus on rating the quality of evidence for an intervention using the GRADE approach. The information in this article is based on the Cochrane Handbook, the GRADE Working Group website, the GRADE handbook (available within the GRADEpro software) and two papers of the GRADE Working Group 1, 2.
