If changes of benefit and harm both > 5% the true effect was deemed unclear (could be beneficial or harmful). Otherwise, chances of benefit or harm were assessed in the following manner: < 1%, almost certainly not, 1-5%, very unlikely; 5-25%, unlikely 25-75%, possibly: 75-95%, likely: 95-99%, very likely: >99%, almost certain.
