Re: Atopic eczema

Dear Sirs,

using idioms like "limited evidence", "insufficient evidence" etc.
looks like using a graduation for the level of evidence (like it is used
by the ACHPR /ACPR). But which are the distinct steps of this graduation ?
Which idiom do you use when no RCT oder other study can be found for an
clinical topic ?

Sincerely

Dr. Taplik
