Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Unclear risk 'randomized clinical trial' by randomisation code. No further details of method used to generate the randomisation sequence were provided.
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk No further details of method used to conceal allocation were provided.
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias)
All outcomes Low risk Blinding, placebo‐controlled study
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias)
All outcomes Low risk Blinding, placebo‐controlled study
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)
All outcomes Low risk No losses to follow‐up
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk The study protocol was not available but it was clear that the published reports included all expected outcomes, including those that were prespecified.
