Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | High risk | The sequence generation was not truly random (investigators assigned participants to treatment based on medical record number or a similar identifier) |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | High risk | Investigators enrolling participants could possibly foresee assignments, introducing bias |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Unclear risk of bias – insufficient information to permit judgement of low risk or high risk of bias |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Unclear risk of bias – insufficient information to permit judgement of low risk or high risk of bias |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Unclear risk of bias – insufficient information to permit judgement of low risk or high risk of bias |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | Unclear risk of bias – insufficient information to permit judgement of low risk or high risk of bias |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Unclear risk of bias – insufficient information to permit judgement of low risk or high risk of bias; study was not registered in a clinical trials registry and funding sources were not clearly reported |
