Ruiz‐Pomeda 2018 Low risk of bias Central registration system, permuted block method. Everyone masked to CL assignment until after study completion. There were no baseline imbalances that would suggest a problem with randomisation. Low risk of bias It was not possible to mask the children or carers given the nature of the interventions. The differences at baseline were subjected to analysis of variance. Low risk of bias Outcome data were available for nearly all randomised participants. Low risk of bias Appropriate and comparable methods of measuring outcome data were used. Some concerns Protocol registered. Not enough information in the protocol on a statistical plan and no published statistical plan used. Some concerns The study is judged to raise some concerns in at least one domain for this result, but not at high risk of bias for any domain.
