For dichotomous outcomes, the numbers in column 'intervention group' and 'control group' denote number of patients with the outcome/total number of patients. The proportion of patients with the outcome is indicated in brackets.

For continuous outcomes, the numbers in column 'intervention group' and 'control group' denote the mean and standard deviation (in brackets) in each group.
