Task Force suggestions and interpretations
| Task Force | Interpretation |
| Suggests | The Task Force believes that the benefits exceed the harms and the intervention should be used |
| Makes no suggestion for or against | The Task Force believes that the benefit–risk ratio is uncertain, more evidence is needed and, for now, clinical equipoise exists |
| Suggests against/not | The Task Force believes that the harms may exceed the benefits and, therefore, the intervention should not be used except in the context of a clinical trial |
