Finally, although we consider the data on transferability of ruzigrass microsatellite markers to other brachiaria species rather preliminary, the higher proportion of successful PCR amplifications on B. brizantha and B. decumbens cultivars indicates a closer phylogenetic distance between these species and B. ruziziensis, when compared with B. humidicola.
The meta-analyses were carried out concerning the following topics: measurement uncertainties, conflicting results, method uncertainty, lack of data, transferability to environmental conditions, transferability to other nanoparticles, applicability of models, knowledge gaps, sources of uncertainty, and consequences of uncertainty.
Despite these limitations, the richness of data offers transferability to other contexts and is an important contribution to the development of family medicine in an African context.
As a result, a small number of study participants in both samples can provide data to assess the assumption of transferability of findings.
The critical appraisal includes the following three aspects: (i) the validity of the data, (ii) the transferability of the data to the context under discussion and (iii) the relevance of the results for the decisions or recommendations at issue.
The trustworthiness of qualitative research depends on credibility (capturing the research questions well), dependability (taking the changes in the research process into consideration well), confirmability (grounding the interpretation well in the data), and transferability (applicability of the findings to other settings) (74).
To ensure an appropriate assessment of transferability, relevant information e.g. time, place, demographic data and cardiac characteristics of the interviewees were presented, as were the inclusion criteria.
To improve the judgment of transferability, the sample setting, data collection and analysis process were carefully described.
Visual inspection indicated a moderate level of transferability between RIL and BC data sets.
We argue that the issue of transferability is met in this study by the clear description of the data collection and process of analysis.
