Outcome variables measured: what is the researcher trying to measure or investigate. The aim or objective of the study.
Quality is very subjective: This is your opinion so you cannot get this wrong. Choose from the following:
A: (High) Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
B: (Moderate) Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
C: (Low) Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
