Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Adequate sequence generation? | Unclear risk | Randomised controlled study design. Information reported insufficient for a judgment to be made. |
Allocation concealment? | Unclear risk | Not stated. Information reported insufficient for a judgment to be made. |
Blinding? All outcomes | Low risk | Double‐blind intervention. |
Incomplete outcome data addressed? All outcomes | High risk | Not reported clearly in the text. |
Free of selective reporting? | Unclear risk | There is no protocol to access so we do not know the original planned outcomes. |
Free of other bias? | Unclear risk | Not mentioned clearly |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Infants are unaware of study interventions and they were randomly assigned in a double‐blind way to study groups. |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Blinding of assessors was not mentioned clearly in the study report but as the authors stated it is a double‐blind study, that suggests personnel and assessors were blinded. |
