Some concerns |
General comment | In addition to the published article, the study registry was used in data extraction and risk of bias assessment. Study protocol or statistical analysis plan were not available. The target sample size specified in the registry (n=100) was not achieved (n=82 were enrolled). There is no important change from the trial registry in the population, procedures, interventions, or outcomes, except it was described as unblinded in the registry but blinded in the published report. |
