Risk of bias
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
