Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Used a random number list. |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to permit judgment. |
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) Patients and providers | High risk | No blinding. |
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) Assessors | Low risk | "Undergraduate assistants blind to the randomization collected participant data at the follow‐up." |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | 7% lost‐to‐follow‐up at 2 months, balanced across groups. Reasons stated. Not ITT. |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | The published report included all expected outcomes based on the study hypotheses. |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Only self‐reported outcomes. Differences between groups at baseline were not reported. |
