Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Computer‐generated by biostatistician |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Low risk | Sealed envelopes; independent personnel; treatment credibility unequal so used as covariate |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Attrition fully reported; no test for differences |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Fully reported |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | High risk | Not reported |
