Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Judgement comment: quote: "random number generator" |
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: reasons for dropout and amount of dropout similar across groups |
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 |
