Randomisation

Allocation concealment

Completeness of outcome data

Masking

A ‐ Adequate sequence generation recorded using random number tables, computer random number generation, coin toss or shuffling

A ‐ Adequate method of allocation concealment such as central randomisation, serial numbered opaque envelopes, or other method where allocation is convincingly concealed

A ‐ Trials where intention‐to‐treat analysis is possible and losses to follow up are few

A ‐ Double or triple blind

B ‐ Did not specify one of the methods above, but mentions randomisation method

B ‐ Unclear allocation concealment or no mention of any attempt to conceal allocation listed in A

B ‐ Trials which report exclusions at <10%

B ‐ Single blind

C ‐ Other method of allocation that appears unbiased

C ‐ Inadequate allocation concealment such as medical record number or alteration methods

C ‐ No mention of exclusions, exclusions 10% or above or widely differing between arms of the trial

C ‐ No blinding
