Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Judgement comment: urn randomization (p. 4) |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Low risk | Judgement comment: concealed until first group meeting |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Judgement comment: no blinding of participants, but blinding of staff |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) Treatment acceptability (attrition) | Low risk | Objective measure |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All non‐attrition outcomes | High risk | Self‐report measure |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Judgement comment: similar attrition across groups |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | High risk | Judgement comment: not all pre‐specified outcomes reported |
Other bias: equivalence of baseline characteristics (selection bias) | Low risk | Judgement comment: no statistically significant differences at baseline |
