Table 7 Credibility assessment of subgroup analyses
Study name | Sub-population | Was a subgroup effect detected? | Likelihood that subgroup effects are SPURIOUS | Likelihood of CONFOUNDING of subgroup analysis | Likelihood of inadequate POWER to detect subgroup differences | Overall ratinga |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Study A | Ex. Age | Indicate whether the study found a difference in effects for this subgroup (i.e., yes, no) | Enter credibility assessment here (e.g., very likely, somewhat likely, unlikely, unclear, not applicable) and any relevant notes | Enter credibility assessment here (e.g., very likely, somewhat likely, unlikely, unclear) and any relevant notes | Enter credibility assessment here (e.g., very likely, somewhat likely, unlikely, unclear) and any relevant notes | Enter overall credibility rating here (e.g., low, moderate, high, or uncertain) and any relevant notes, including overall quality concerns for the study |
