Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Block randomisation |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to permit judgement |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) Blinding of participants | High risk | Blinding not possible |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) Blinding of personnel | Unclear risk | No reporting of blinding of personnel |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) Objective outcome | Low risk | Biochemical measures of creatinine, BUN and sodium are objective |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) Subjective outcomes | High risk | Self‐reported measure |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No reported loss to follow up or incomplete diaries |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to permit judgement |
Other bias | High risk | small sample size ‐ population not generalisable, limited follow‐up time, control and intervention groups significantly different with respect to time since transplant, low uptake rate of the intervention |
