Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Quote: "Patients were allocated randomly to receive interventions using a computer‐generated random number allocation and close envelope technique" |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Low risk | Quote: "Patients were allocated randomly to receive interventions using a computer‐generated random number allocation and close envelope technique" |
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Qoute: "...by an observer blinded to method of induction" |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | No missing data. |
