- Note 1: We did not have individual level data from any randomised controlled trial needed to evaluate individual-level associations therefore we assumed that the Rindividual
2 was as least as large as the R2
trial
- Note 2: Although the combined score is 10, the statistical relationship was less than rank 2, therefore the grade drops from B to C
