Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | This was described as randomised; no details were given. |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | This was unclear. |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | An attempt was made to disguise the appearance of the placebo solution. Quote (page 330): "The patients were warned that the colour of their warts would change to black later". Also, black ink was applied, which suggest that there was some attempt at blinding participants. Comment: It was unclear if blinding strategies were used or whether they were adequate. |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | This was unclear. |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | 0/70 participants dropped out. |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | All outcomes were reported. |
