*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio;

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1 Mean baseline risk presented for single study.
2 Risk of bias: rated 'very serious' (downgraded by 2 points) ‐ randomisation unclear, with no mention or description of methods. Raters of scales not stated to be independent of treatment.
3 Imprecision: rated 'serious' (downgraded by 1 point) ‐ 95% confidence intervals for best estimate of effect include both 'no effect' and appreciable benefit/harm.
4 Low risk: equates to intervention group (11%) in one study with a higher risk in the other included study (71%); high risk in the control group (74%).
5 Risk of bias: rated 'serious' (downgraded by 1 point) ‐ lack of information for participants leaving the study early. Not all adverse effects data reported, and data not reported for various rating scales by intervention group.
6 Imprecision: rated 'very serious' (downgraded by 2 points) ‐ only two small studies presented data on this outcome, with considerable heterogeneity present (P = 0.0003; I2 = 92%).
7 Low risk: equates to control group (0%), with a moderate risk in the intervention group (3.6%).
8 Low risk: equates to control group (3.4%), with a moderate risk in the intervention group (12.7%).
9 Risk of bias: rated 'serious' (downgraded by 1 point) ‐ one of the two included studies did not: provide details of randomisation; report SDs for continuous outcomes; account for participants lost to follow‐up.
10 Low risk: equates to control group (7.7%), with a moderate risk in the intervention group (27.3%).

Key:

High quality ‐ no downgrading of the evidence.
Moderate quality ‐ evidence downgraded by 1 point ('serious').
Low quality ‐ evidence downgraded by 1 point twice ('serious') or 2 points ('very serious').
Very low quality ‐ evidence downgraded any further than listed above.
