Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Computer‐generated |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Low risk | Sealed, opaque envelopes |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Unmasked |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | High risk | Unmasked |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Complete follow‐up for primary outcomes |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | Unlikely |
Other bias | Low risk | No evidence of baseline imbalance |
