How to assess quality of evidence? Term not well defined but usually includes 3 elements: 1. Internal validity (AKA #RiskOfBias), 2. External validity, 3. Reporting quality. @latitudes-network.bsky.social deals with study validity and @equatornetwork.bsky.social aims to improve quality of reporting
