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	In addition to the pre-print article, the trial registry and supplementary appendices were used in data extraction and assessment of risk of bias. Neither protocol nor statistical analysis plan was available. The target sample size specified in the registry was achieved for phase IIb (100 were recruited into phase IIa). There were no important differences between registry and pre-print in population, procedures, interventions or outcomes. This trial was updated on October 24th 2022, after publication of the study report.
