Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Cluster randomized by primary care centre |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | High risk | ‘Patients were recruited as they visited the primary care team or alternatively were selected by simple random sampling from a list of diabetic smokers’. Patients recruited after centres allocated, and baseline differences, so judged at high risk for selection bias |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | High risk | 129 without baseline stage of change data were excluded from analyses. Loss to follow‐up 24% (111) I, 23.4% (115) C, not included in reported analyses, reincluded in denominators for this MA. |
