Risk of bias Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) of controlled studies (n = 15). Randomization: low risk if randomization method is described. Allocation concealment: low risk if unit of allocation was by team/institution OR by patient with some kind of randomization method. Baseline measurement similar: low risk if baseline measurements were performed and no important difference present across groups OR imbalanced but appropriate adjusted. Baseline characteristics similar: low risk if characteristics were reported and similar. Incomplete outcome data: low risk if missing outcomes were unlikely to bias the results. Blinding: low risk if the authors stated blind assessment OR objective outcomes. Contamination: low risk if allocation was by team/ institution/practice and unlikely control group received intervention. Selective reporting: low risk if there is no evidence that outcomes were selectively reported. Other: low risk if there is no evidence of other risk of bias. Green circle: low risk of bias, red circle: High risk of bias, empty box: unclear risk of bias
