Differences between protocol and review

The primary outcome was changed to incomplete recovery "preferably" six months after randomisation, because few trials lasted more than six months. The authors decided to include shorter trials and highlight their high risk of bias. Clinical trial databases were added to the searches (Current Controlled Trials, the National Research Register [NRR] archive, the US National Institutes of Health the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry). The ‘Risk of bias' tool  was changed. The GRADE method of assessment was used to create 'Summary of findings' tables. There was a change in authorship.

PICOs

Population
Intervention
Comparison
Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.
