Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Unclear risk Not reported, merely states, "study was a randomised comparison of two groups of 25 patients each ...".
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Not reported
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias)
All outcomes Unclear risk Not reported
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)

% analysed: 50/50 (100%)
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Unclear risk Insufficient information to permit judgement
Other bias Unclear risk Insufficient information to assess whether an important risk of bias exists
