| Variable | Odds ratio (95% CI) | P value |
|---|---|---|
| Intercept | 0.63 (0.24 to 0.91) | |
| Sample size* | 1.01 (0.80 to 1.27) | 0.93 |
| Multicentre v single centre trial† | 0.58 (0.24 to 1.40) | 0.22 |

| Other funding v none† | 1.94 (0.73 to 5.14) | 0.18 |
*Interpreted as relative increase in proportion of matching eligibility criteria per each one unit increase in log transformed sample size.
†Interpreted as relative increase or decrease in proportion of matching eligibility criteria compared with reference category.
