| Risk of bias | ||
| Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
| Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Data checks on IPD provided suggest adequate sequence generation |
| Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Low risk | Central computer randomisation |
| Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | IPD supplied for outcomes |
| Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Trial not blinded due to nature of intervention, outcome not likely to be influenced by lack of blinding |
| Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Trial not blinded due to nature of intervention, primary outcome not likely to be influenced by lack of blinding |
