Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Unclear risk "Finally, a sample of 300 women was chosen by simple random sampling without replacement"‐ doesn't elaborate on method. Also claims to be a longitudinal, observational study but also randomised
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Doesn't explain allocation concealment method
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes Unclear risk States that it is double‐blinded but doesn't elaborate how/who
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes Unclear risk Doesn't appear to refer to loss to follow‐up etc
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Unclear risk Doesn't state planned outcomes in methods to check in results
Other bias Unclear risk Hard to assess as paper is in Spanish
