Yates quality scale: total quality = 27/35, design quality = 20/26, treatment quality =7/9
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Unclear risk Shuffled sealed envelopes
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Low risk Sealed envelopes; procedure by researchers blind to participant screening
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes High risk Partially reported; differential attrition; no test of differences
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk Fully reported
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes Unclear risk Data gathered by research team
