Differences between protocol and review

  • We added a study flow diagram as recommended by the PRISMA statement to illustrate the process of screening and selecting studies for inclusion in the review (Figure 1) (Liberati 2009).

  • We added a ‘Dealing with missing data' section to the review.

  • We added a ‘Unit of analysis issues’ section in to the review.

  • For assessment of reporting biases, we updated it as follows “In future, if 10 or more studies are included for meta‐analysis, visual asymmetry of funnel plots will be assessed to identify any potential reporting or publication bias (Sterne 2011).”

  • We added 'Summary of findings' tables with GRADE ratings.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Para saber más sobre el uso del modelo PICO, puede consultar el Manual Cochrane.

*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; SD: standard deviation

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. Downgraded two levels: serious limitation (risk of bias), serious imprecision (small number of events )
