Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to permit judgement |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to permit judgement |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Unlikely to influence outcomes |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Unlikely to influence outcomes |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | All patient outcome data reported |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | High risk | All expected outcomes reported however SD/SE not reported for graft function |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to permit judgement |
