Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	Unclear risk	Quote: "The patients admitted to the trial were randomly divided into a control group and an intervention group"
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Unclear risk	Randomisation and allocation process were not described. No clear information
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All Outcomes/Outcome 1	High risk	Personnel were not blinded, same pharmacists delivered both arms.
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All Outcomes/Outcome 1	Low risk	The main outcome (cholesterol) is objectively measured.
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes	Unclear risk	Original sample size unclear
Selective reporting (reporting bias)	Unclear risk	Some outcomes reported (smoking) that seem unrelated to intervention
Other bias	Low risk	None
