Notes  
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Unclear risk Randomised via sealed envelope technique, random sequence generation not stated
Allocation concealment (selection bias) High risk No mention of allocation concealment
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Assessors blinded to group allocation
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk No missing data
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Unclear risk No trial protocol
Other bias Low risk No other sources of bias identified
