Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Adequate sequence generation? Low risk Computer generated
Allocation concealment? Unclear risk Reported that envelopes used but not reported if they were opaque
Blinding? 
 All outcomes Low risk All necessary researchers were blinded
Incomplete outcome data addressed? 
 All outcomes Unclear risk No reason for missing data reported (20 patients (18%) lost to follow up)
Free of selective reporting? Unclear risk Insufficient information provided
Free of other bias? High risk Baseline differences in x‐ray rates between intervention groups; study underpowered
