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
