Notes  
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk Data checks on IPD provided suggest adequate sequence generation
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Low risk Central telephone
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) 
 All outcomes High risk Trial was not blinded due to nature of treatment interventions
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk IPD provided for all outcomes except late toxicity
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk N/A (IPD supplied for all outcomes except late toxicity)
Other bias Low risk Data checks on IPD provided suggest study is free of follow‐up bias
