An NP is evaluating a clinical practice guideline on heart failure management. The GRADE system rates evidence quality as 'moderate.' This means:
-
A
The true effect is likely close to the estimate but further research could change confidence
-
B
The estimate of effect is very uncertain and further research is unlikely to help
-
C
The evidence is sufficient and no further research is warranted
-
D
The recommendation is based solely on expert opinion
