TLDR
Alternatives include presenting results in the units of the most popular or interpretable measure, converting to dichotomous measures and presenting relative and absolute effects, presenting the ratio of the means of intervention and control groups, and presenting the results in minimally important difference units.About:

Pessaries (mechanical devices) for pelvic organ prolapse in women
TL;DR: There is an urgent need for randomised studies to address the use of pessaries in comparison with no treatment, surgery and conservative measures.

Ketamine added to morphine or hydromorphone patient-controlled analgesia for acute postoperative pain in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials.
Li Wang,Li Wang,Li Wang,Bradley C. Johnston,Bradley C. Johnston,Alka Kaushal,Alka Kaushal,Davy Cheng,Fang Zhu,Janet Martin +9 more
TL;DR: Adding ketamine to morphine/hydromorphone PCA provides a small improvement in postoperative analgesia while reducing opioid requirements and reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting; however, adverse events were probably underreported.
Introducing GRADE: a systematic approach to rating evidence in systematic reviews and to guideline development
TL;DR: While there were some earlier publications, a series of papers published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology from 2011 to 2013 constitute the most complete and systematic expose.

TL;DR: The GRADE process begins with asking an explicit question, including specification of all important outcomes, and provides explicit criteria for rating the quality of evidence that include study design, risk of bias, imprecision, inconsistency, indirectness, and magnitude of effect.
