Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that according to the GRADE system, the quality of non-randomized studies is considered low?

Yes. According to the GRADE system, evidence derived from non-randomized studies typically starts at a low quality rating due to inherent risks of bias and methodological limitations.

The analysis

The GRADE system establishes that observational or non-randomized studies inherently begin as low-quality (low-certainty) evidence, which can be further downgraded or exceptionally upgraded. The retrieved papers (specifically 5 and 8) explicitly corroborate that evidence from non-randomized studies evaluated via GRADE is typically rated as low or very low due to serious risks of bias.
