Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information about the sequence generation process |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information about the method of allocation |
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | There is insufficient information regarding the blinding of participants and assessors |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | The total numbers of participants in each group at follow‐up was not reported |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Study protocol not available but all data appear to be reported |
Other bias | Low risk | The study appears to be free of other sources of bias |
