Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk Computer‐generated randomisation sequence
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Low risk Automated assignment system
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Participants and outcome assessors blinded
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Participants blinded
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Outcome assessors blinded
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk None lost to follow‐up
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk All outcomes reported
Other bias Low risk None identified
