Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk RCT; at office
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Not reported
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Not blinded, but outcome unlikely to be influenced (acceptable as per surgical design)
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Not blinded, but outcome unlikely to be influenced (acceptable as per surgical design)
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk None
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk None
Other bias High risk Mixed pathology; no definitions of margins
