Notes  
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 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
