Adverse events
Notes  
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk Centralised randomisation
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Low risk Centralised randomisation
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Blinding of participants and key study personnel ensured; unlikely that the blinding could have been broken
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Blinding of outcome assessment ensured; unlikely that the blinding could have been broken
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 Low risk No other forms of bias detected
