Expansion based on EvidenceCertaintyType v5.0.0-ballot (CodeSystem)
| Code | System | Display | Definition |
| Overall | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Overall certainty | Overall certainty of evidence (quality of evidence). |
| RiskOfBias | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Risk of bias | methodologic concerns reducing internal validity. |
| Inconsistency | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Inconsistency | concerns that findings are not similar enough to support certainty. |
| Indirectness | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Indirectness | concerns reducing external validity. |
| Imprecision | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Imprecision | fuzzy or wide variability. |
| PublicationBias | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Publication bias | likelihood that what is published misrepresents what is available to publish. |
| DoseResponseGradient | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Dose response gradient | higher certainty due to dose response relationship. |
| PlausibleConfounding | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Plausible confounding | higher certainty due to risk of bias in opposite direction. |
| LargeEffect | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-type | Large effect | higher certainty due to large effect size. |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information |
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') |
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
