Hierarchy and Levels Are the Same Thing

Captions available

The idea

A hierarchy of evidence and levels of evidence are the same thing: guidance about which research designs, if well done, are more likely to give reliable answers to a particular clinical question.

In practice

One ranking, described in two vocabularies.

Where people slip

"If well done" is a condition inside the definition, not a caveat added afterwards.
