Risk of bias Overall The overall risk of bias reported in the table corresponds to the highest risk of bias for the outcomes assessed for the systematic review	Some concerns
General comment	The trial registry, protocol and statistical analysis plan were used in data extraction and assessment of risk of bias. This is an unpublished study whose results have been reported in ClinicalTrials.gov. The trial was registered prospectively and no important changes were made to primary or secondary outcomes after recruitment start. The trial (n = 14) did not achieve its target sample size (n = 20). The study was terminated due to a decrease in eligible subjects and lack of funding.
