This code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/certainty-subcomponent-type defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
RiskOfBias Risk of biasmethodologic concerns reducing internal validity.
Inconsistency Inconsistencyconcerns that findings are not similar enough to support certainty.
Indirectness Indirectnessconcerns reducing external validity.
Imprecision ImprecisionHigh quality evidence.
PublicationBias Publication biaslikelihood that what is published misrepresents what is available to publish.
DoseResponseGradient Dose response gradienthigher certainty due to dose response relationship.
PlausibleConfounding Plausible confoundinghigher certainty due to risk of bias in opposite direction.
LargeEffect Large effecthigher certainty due to large effect size.
