Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | No quotes available. Comment: randomisation stated but no information on method used was available; therefore risk of selection bias was considered to be unclear. |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | No quotes available. Insufficient information to permit judgement. Comment: Owing to insufficient information, allocation concealment was considered to have unclear risk of bias. |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No quotes available. No blinding described. Comment: Owing to insufficient information, risk of performance bias was considered to be unclear. |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No quotes available. No blinding of outcome assessments described. Comment: Owing to insufficient information, risk of detection bias was considered to be unclear. |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | No quotes available. Comment: no participants lost to follow‐up; therefore risk of attrition bias was considered to be low. |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | No quotes available. Expected outcomes were reported according to objectives. Comment: Risk of reporting bias was therefore considered to be low. |
Other bias | Low risk | No quotes available. Study appears to be free of other sources of bias. Comment: No other sources of bias could be found; therefore risk of other bias was considered to be low. |
