Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Sequence Generation | High risk | According to day of attendance |
Allocation concealment | High risk | Based on day of attendance, could have been foreseen |
Blinding of outcome assessors All outcomes | Low risk | Smoking status was only validated in a subsample of participants by urinary cotinine; but contact was matched between trial arms, thereby minimizing risk of bias |
Incomplete outcome data All outcomes | Unclear risk | 72% returned 1‐year follow‐up questionnaire. No further details reported |
