Notes | ||
Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Drawing of lots. |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | No description. |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No description. |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No description. |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | High risk | Those leaving the study early were not included in analyses, only reported completed trial patients. |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | High risk | No results for haematoma, air embolism, and phlebitis, which were described in the method section. |
Other bias | Unclear risk | No description. |
