Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Internet randomisation |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Low risk | Internet randomisation |
Baseline outcome measures similar | Low risk | Similar |
Baseline characteristics similar | Low risk | Similar ‐ control group had higher family history of osteoporosis but unlikely to change result |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Used intention‐to‐treat analysis; similar dropout in both groups |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Blinded |
Protection against contamination | High risk | Both groups were based in the same pharmacies |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Not noted |
Other bias | Low risk | Not noted |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Not blinded |
