Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) 
 All outcomes High risk Judgement comment: no information provided on masking. We assume that in the absence of reporting on this, patients and personnel were not masked.
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes High risk Judgement comment: no information provided on masking. We assume that in the absence of reporting on this, outcome assessors were not masked.
