x1: number of event in experimental group (studied treatment); n1: sample size of experimental group; x0: number of event in control group (control treatment); n0: sample size of control group;
Study risk of bias assessed for the study primary endpoint(s) or the main endpoints in case of no formally defined primary endpoint(s);
Conclusive (statistically conclusive): statistically significant with a strict control of overall risk of type 1 error (statistically demonstrated), does not take into account the risk of bias;
