Level 1b corresponds to which study type?

Explanation:
An individual randomized controlled trial with a narrow confidence interval. This level reflects high-quality, direct evidence from one well-conducted RCT that provides a precise estimate of the treatment effect—the narrow CI shows the result is measured with good precision, usually due to adequate sample size and low random error. Systematic reviews that pool multiple RCTs are a higher level of evidence (they synthesize several trials, yielding a more comprehensive picture). Systematic reviews of cohort studies and case-control studies are different designs and fall into lower levels of evidence, so they don’t match Level 1b.
