Dramatic results in uncontrolled trials might also be regarded as this type of evidence. • Level III: Opinions of respected authorities, based on clinical experience, descriptive studies, or reports of expert committees. “literature on the treatment of AN in particular was deficient” “has not yet been addressed empirically” “a substantial gap in the literature” “sparse and inconclusive” “interventions were graded as weak to nonexistent” “no studies of EDNOS outcomes exist” “lack of follow-up data” L.
