Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Unclear risk Details were not reported.
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Details were not reported.
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Lack of blinding would be unlikely to affect results.
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Lack of blinding would be unlikely to affect results.
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk 1/150 were lost to follow‐up.
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk All outcomes were predefined and reported.
