What does the number in parentheses mean in the grammar explanation?

I sometimes see numbers in parentheses in the structure section of a grammar explanation (ばかりに, for example), but I’m not sure what it means. Maybe that である can replace な in this case?

Structure

Verb［た］+ ばかりに
［い］Adjective + ばかりに
［な］Adjective + な(1) + ばかりに
Noun + な(1) + ばかりに

(1) である

In this case it is showing that な can be replaced with である so
Noun + である + ばかりに

Hope that helps clear things up!
