Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	Low risk	Randomisation in blocks of six by sealed envelopes
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Low risk	The random assignment was kept sealed in an envelope by a faculty member not directly involved in the study
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes	Unclear risk	Lack of blinding may have affected institution of co‐intervention
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes	Low risk	Even though not blinded, outcomes such as seizure activity determination are unlikely to be subject to bias in detection
