Grading key
Unknown: investigated in studies of exclusively poor methodology or not investigated in any study.
Strong: multiple studies of good methodological rating or at least 1 study of excellent methodology.
Moderate: multiple fair methodological studies or 1 study of good methodology.
Limited: one study of fair methodological quality.
Conflicting: contradictory findings.
