Notes
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
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk The trial was described as randomised, but the method used to conceal the allocation was not described
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
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Unclear risk There is insufficient information to permit judgement of adequacy or inadequacy
Other bias Unclear risk The trial appears to be free of other sources of bias
