Journal Article
Van Der Windt, D. (2017). Rating of Included Trials on the Efficacy-Effectiveness Spectrum (RITES): development of a new tool for systematic reviews. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 95-104. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclinepi.2017.01.010

AbstractBackground Randomized trials may be designed to provide evidence more strongly related to efficacy or effectiveness of an intervention. When systematic reviews are used to inform clinical or policy decisions, it is important to know the effic...
