Contributions of authors

Chris Cates, Elizabeth Stovold and Marta Oleszczuk wrote the protocol and search strategy together. Elizabeth Stovold carried out the searches for Cochrane reviews (which were independently assessed for quality by Elizabeth Stovold and Susan Wieland). Elizabeth Stovold also carried out the updated searches for each included review. Chris Cates and Marta Oleszczuk independently assessed the search results and extracted data from the new trials. Chris Cates carried out the statistical analyses. All authors contributed to the final version of the review.
