Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Unclear risk Not documented
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Not documented
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) 
 All outcomes Unclear risk Not documented but OS unlikely to be affected by blinding
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk No missing outcome data
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk Published report included all pre‐specified outcomes
Other bias Low risk  No hint at any other possible biases
