Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	Low risk	Quote: “Women were divided into randomised groups by a staff who was not involved in this study, by drawing lots”
		Comment: Adequately done
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Unclear risk	Comment: Insufficient information to permit judgement
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias)	Low risk	Quote: “Participants were blind about which group they were involved in and the evaluated study outcomes”
		Comment: Adequately done
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias)	Unclear risk	Comment: Insufficient information to permit judgement
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)	High risk	Comment: Intervention: 6/51 × 100 = 11.7% lost to follow‐up
		Control: 6/51 × 100 = 11.7% lost of follow‐up
Selective reporting (reporting bias)	Unclear risk	Comment: Published protocol not found. The outcomes specified in the methodology section have been reported in the results section
Other bias	Low risk	Comment: No other potential sources of bias reported
