Contributions of authors
James Wright and Vijaya Musini formulated the idea for the review and developed the basis for the protocol.
Vijaya Musini designed the search strategy, undertook the search, screened search results, collected data for the review, screened retrieved papers against eligibility criteria, appraised the risk of bias of papers, extracted data from papers, entered data into RevMan, analysed and interpreted data, and wrote the review.
Ciprian Jauca was the second reviewer in identifying trials meeting inclusion criteria, translating two non‐English studies (one in French and one in German), assessing risk of bias of all included studies and performing data abstraction.
James Wright and Ken Bassett confirmed accuracy of data and were the third and fourth reviewers to settle any discrepancies in inclusion criteria or data abstraction.

Differences between protocol and review
The search was updated until March 2009. To be able to maximize data inclusion, trials that reported data after 12 weeks were also included in the meta‐analysis.
