Notes | ||
Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Not reported |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Not reported |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Not reported |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | High risk | High attrition: intervention (40%), control (33%) Adherence to intervention not reported |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | High risk | No protocol identified. The study authors reported no statistically significant differences between intervention and control groups, which meant that it was not possible to include this study in meta‐analyses. This has the potential to lead to an overestimate of effectiveness for those outcomes. |
Other bias | Low risk | Appeared free from other sources of bias. |
