http://smart.who.int/base/CodeSystem/KGGradeCertainty  highHighWe are very confident that the true effect lies close to the estimate of the effect.
http://smart.who.int/base/CodeSystem/KGGradeCertainty  moderateModerateWe are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to it, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different.
http://smart.who.int/base/CodeSystem/KGGradeCertainty  lowLowOur confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from it.
http://smart.who.int/base/CodeSystem/KGGradeCertainty  very-lowVery lowWe have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from it. Not the same finding as 'could not determine' — absent evidence is a gap, not a grade.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
