Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	Unclear risk	Quote "If the participant met criteria and gave consent, she was then randomised and scheduled accordingly". Comment: It is unclear how the sequence was generated.
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Unclear risk	Comment: There is no mention of any measures taken to conceal allocation.
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes	High risk	Quote: "Because only 2 of 14 participants who did not complete the study (1 in each of the active treatments) provide data other than baseline, intent‐to‐treat analyses provide no consequentially different results and are not included here."
Selective reporting (reporting bias)	Low risk	Comment: All specified outcomes were reported.
Other bias	Low risk	Comment: No other sources of bias detected.
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes	High risk	Comment: Participants were aware of their allocation.
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes	Low risk	Quote: "All assessments were conducted by IAs who were kept blind to the treatment condition."
