Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Unclear risk Not described in the study
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Not described in the study
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes Unclear risk Describe the evaluation of the outcome as 'blind' with no further explanations
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes Unclear risk The authors describe that they were 'blind' to where participants were allocated, although they do not specify how
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes Low risk No patients were lost to follow‐up
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Unclear risk Insufficient information to permit judgement
Other bias Unclear risk There was insufficient information to assess whether an important risk of bias exists
