Table 1. Quality scale for meta‐analytic review

Subtle bias

Frank bias

Selection Bias [A] [B] [C]

Were there attempts at allocation concealment?

Were the groups being compared balanced in terms of known determinants of outcome?

If not A, check direction of BIAS

Example: Use of opaque envelopes, allocation by a 3rd party.

Note: Magnitude of any difference is more important than the p‐value.

[ ] Overestimate[ ] Underestimate[ ] Hard to determine

Comments:_______________________[ ]Y [ ] N [ ]NS

Comments:___________________[ ]Y [ ] N [ ]NS

Performance Bias [A] [B] [C]

Was the physician caring for the patient blinded regarding treatment?

Were the two groups treated equally in terms of other medication received, frequency of follow‐up and general quality of care?

If not A, check direction of BIAS[ ]

Note: If an identical placebo was used, the answer is probably (but not always) yes.

Note: In some studies, treated patients are seen more often than the controls, or receive different medications.

Overestimate[ ] Underestimate[ ] Hard to determine

Comments:_______________________[ ]Y [ ] N [ ]NS

Comments:___________________[ ]Y [ ] N [ ]NS

Exclusion Bias [A] [B] [C]

Was an intention‐to‐treat analysis conducted?

Are the drop‐out rates comparable?

If not A, check direction of BIAS

Note: Withdrawals are patients who failed to comply with treatment. If outcomes are known for these patients, and they are analyzed as if they complied, this is an ITT analysis.

Note: Drop‐out are patients for whom outcome is uncertain. The denominator in the analysis will be less than the total number of patients randomized.

Comments:___________________[ ]Y [ ] N [ ]NS

Detection Bias [A] [B] [C]

Were the persons making an outcome assessment blinded regarding treatment?

Are the outcome detection methods used similar in both groups?

If not A, check direction of BIAS

Note: The outcome assessor maybe a patient, his physician, or a 3rd party. If an identical placebo was used, the answer is probably (but not always) yes.

Note: In some studies, the criteria used for outcome measurement differ between groups being compared.
