Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | High risk | “randomized in clusters” |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | High risk | Not reported |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Attrition reported; 2 differences between dropouts and completers |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Fully reported |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | High risk | Not reported |
