Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk Judgement comment: random number generator used
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Judgement comment: not reported
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias)
All outcomes High risk Judgement comment: no blinding
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
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)
All outcomes Low risk Judgement comment: similar attrition rates with similar reasons
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk Judgement comment: no protocol but clear statement of plausible primary outcomes
Other bias: equivalence of baseline characteristics (selection bias) Low risk Judgement comment: no baseline differences
