Interventions | Atorvastatin 10 mg/d | |
Outcomes | Per cent change from baseline at 3 months of serum TC, LDL‐C, HDL‐C and TG | |
Notes | SDs were imputed | |
Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Atorvastatin 10 mg/d; intervention was analysed, and as no placebo group was included for comparison, assessment of random sequence generation is not applicable |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Atorvastatin 10 mg/d; intervention was analysed, and as no placebo group was included for comparison, assessment of allocation concealment is not applicable |
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Atorvastatin 10 mg/d; intervention was analysed, and as no placebo group was included for comparison, blinding status is not applicable |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Data on all participants were reported |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | All lipid parameters were measured |
Other bias | High risk | Pfizer funded the study; data may support bias for atorvastatin |
