Anthony, there are several different grading systems - some use I for the number one, others 1.

You can write A1, A-1, AI or A-I. It doesn't really matter.

Review paper
http://cys.bvsalud.org/lildbi/docsonline/5/9/195-52.pdf

These hierarchies have used a range of different
approaches to grading research. For example, one hierarchy
for clinical recommendations used levels A1 through
to C2 (Guyatt et al., 1995). Level A1 represented RCTs
with no heterogeneity and a confidence interval (CI) all on
one side of the threshold number needed to treat (NNT).
Level C2 at the other end of this scale was assigned to
observational studies with a CI overlapping the threshold
NNT. NNT is the number of patients who have to be
treated to prevent one event occurring (see Information
Point in Vol. 10, no. 6, p. 783). Another hierarchy used a
scale of level I through to level IV [National Health and
Medical Research Council (NHMRC), 1995]. Level I was
assigned to evidence obtained from a systematic review of
all relevant randomized controlled trials, while level IV
comprised opinions of respected authorities, descriptive
studies, or reports from expert committees. The Cochrane
Collaboration ranks the validity of studies on a scale of A
to C, with A indicating that the study met all quality
criteria (Mulrow & Oxman, 1997). One hierarchy that was
used during the development of clinical guidelines used an
alpha-numerical approach to rank both evidence and
recommendations (Meltzer et al., 1998; Sackett, 1986).
The highest ranking in this hierarchy was Grade A
Recommendations supported by Level I evidence (Cook
et al., 1992).
