Risk of bias
Bias	Authors  judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	Low risk	“By the use of a random number table the patients were allocated…”
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Unclear risk	Not reported.
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes	Low risk	“The exercise test 1 yr after the MI followed the same protocol but was conducted by another physician, who did not know if the patients belonged to the experimental or the control group.”
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes	Low risk	No losses to follow up for clinical events.
Selective reporting (reporting bias)	Unclear risk	No information reported.
