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.
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk Study authors reported all planned outcomes
