Il Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation Working Group (GRADE Working Group) ha sviluppato un sistema per graduare la qualità delle prove di efficacia. Il GRADE è stato adottato da più di 20 organizzazioni, compresa l’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità. La qualità di una prova prevede che vengano presi in esame i problemi metodologici dello studio (qualità metodologica), l’orientamento dei risultati, l’eterogeneità, la precisione della stima dell’effetto, e il rischio di bias di pubblicazione, per ogni singolo esito valutato. Il sistema GRADE assegna 4 livelli di qualità: le sperimentazioni cliniche, che sono in cima alla piramide delle prove di efficacia, possono essere declassate se hanno problemi metodologici. Viene presentata una breve rassegna del sistema GRADE.
The Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation Working Group (GRADE Working Group) has developed a system for grading the quality of evidence. Over 20 organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO) have adopted it. The quality of a body of evidence involves consideration of within-study risk of bias (methodological quality), directness of evidence, heterogeneity, precision of effect estimates and risk of publication bias, and the system considers the assessment of the quality of a body of evidence for each individual outcome. The GRADE approach specifies four levels of quality. Randomized trials, usually the highest grade of evidence, can be downgraded depending on the presence of the methodological problems. A brief overview of the grade system is presented.

| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 3 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
