Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | The trial was described as randomised, but there was insufficient information about the sequence generation process to permit judgement of adequacy or inadequacy |

Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | There was no blinding |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Blinding was not clearly stated |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | There were no missing outcome data. 11 children were excluded because of secondary disorders during the study |
