Immune response
Adverse events
Notes  
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Unclear risk Information about the sequence generation process insufficient to permit judgement of ‘low risk’ or ‘high risk’
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Information insufficient to permit judgement of ‘low risk’ or ‘high risk’
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk No blinding or incomplete blinding, but review authors judge that the outcome is not likely to be influenced by lack of blinding
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes Unclear risk Information insufficient to permit judgement of ‘low risk’ or ‘high risk’
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Missing outcome data balanced in numbers across intervention groups, with similar reasons for missing data across groups
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Unclear risk Information insufficient to permit judgement of ‘low risk’ or ‘high risk’
Other bias High risk Early termination due to financial limitations
