Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Participants were randomly assigned to groups; no additional details |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | No details. Abstract only |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Not feasible to blind anaesthetists to intervention |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No details. Abstract only |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | No details. Abstract only. We have assumed there were no losses |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | Study authors do not report clinical trials registration. Not feasible to judge risk of selective outcome reporting |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Limited detail in abstract, unable to assess risk of other biases. Description of inhalational maintenance does not include fentanyl/remifentanil |
