Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | "Randomized using a stratified block design" |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Low risk | "consecutively numbered, sealed envelopes were prepared for each gender group by the statistician" |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Not described |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | No dropouts during the study |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Comprehensive reporting of outcomes |
Size | High risk | 25/26 per group |
