EPIC‐HR 2021 Low risk of bias Centralized web‐based randomization. There are no baseline differences that would suggest a problem with randomization. Some concerns Both participants and those delivering the intervention were not aware of intervention received. The analysis was not appropriate (a per‐protocol analysis was used). Low risk of bias Data for this outcome were reported for all participants of the mITT2 population. Low risk of bias Measurement of the outcome was appropriate. Outcome assessors were not aware of the intervention received. Low risk of bias The protocol was prospectively registered and the outcome was reported as registered.
