Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Quote: “randomly divided” |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Quote: “randomly divided” |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Described both as single‐ and double‐blind; placebo‐controlled so probably done. |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Not reported |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | No losses to follow‐up reported. |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | Some outcomes not fully reported. |
Other bias | Low risk | Baseline characteristics were similar. |
