Some concerns |
General comment | In addition to the published article, the protocol, statistical analysis plan, supplemental material and study registry were used in data extraction and risk of bias assessment. There is no change from the trial registration in the intervention and control treatments. The registry had additional primary outcomes that were reported in the paper as secondary outcomes. The study (n=1315) achieved the target sample size specified in the trial registry (n=1020). Of note, the outcome Hospitalisation or death also included participants who received oxygen therapy without specifying if they were hospitalized or not. |
