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. |
Other bias | Low risk | No other risk of bias detected |
