Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Quote: "Using a random number generator, patients received" page AB210 Comment: We considered low risk of bias |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | No information Comment: we considered unclear risk of bias due to the authors did not provide the methods used for maintain the allocation concealment |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Quote: "patients received identical volumes and injection patterns of one product in the right corrugator and frontalis, and the other product in the left." (page AB21) Comment: We considered low risk of bias since the authors adopted proper actions to assure blinding of personnel and patients. |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No information about outcome assessors blinding Comment: we considered unclear risk of bias |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | No information about losses Comment: we considered unclear risk of bias |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | All prespecified outcomes were reported Comment: we considered low risk of bias |
Other bias | Low risk | We considered this study at low risk of other bias |
