Notes | ||
Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Quote: " patients were randomly allocated" Comment: Probably done |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to permit judgement |
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes | Low risk | No blinding, but the outcome and the outcome measurement are not likely to be influenced by lack of blinding. |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | No missing outcome data |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | All expected outcomes were reported |
Other bias | Low risk | The study appears to be free of other sources of bias |
