| Notes | — | |
| Risk of bias | ||
| Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
| Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Randomly assigned to either the SHIP‐DM intervention group (n = 41) or the control (delayed intervention) group (n = 42) by computer‐automated random assignment. |
| Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Not reported. |
| Patient's baseline characteristics (selection bias) | Low risk | Table 1. P values provided and greater than 0.05. |
| Patient's baseline outcomes (selection bias) | High risk | Table 1. P values provided and cholesterol levels were significantly different at baseline. |
| Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) | Low risk | One participant from the intervention group and 3 from the control group withdrew because of a lack of time (retention rate = 95.2%). |
| Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) and of outcome assessors (detection bias) | Low risk | Objective measure of HbA1c, LDL, BP. |
| Selective reporting (reporting bias) | High risk | Prospectively registered protocol, secondary outcomes between protocol and paper were not consistent. |
| Risk of contamination (other bias) | Low risk | Remotely delivered intervention. Control participants did not have access to testing device. |
| Other bias | Low risk | None identified. |
