| Risk of bias | ||
| Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
| Adequate sequence generation? | Unclear risk | Not described. |
| Allocation concealment? | Unclear risk | Not described. |
| Blinding? All outcomes | High risk | Nature of intervention prevents blinding of participants. No mention of blinding of outcome assessors, but most outcomes are objectively measured, and thus risk of biased measurement is low. |
| Incomplete outcome data addressed? All outcomes | Unclear risk | No information on losses of any type. |
| Free of selective reporting? | Unclear risk | Information insufficient to assess. |
| Free of other bias? | Unclear risk | Information insufficient to assess. |
