Studies with * are not randomised trials. (1) Eligibility criteria specified, (2) Random allocation of participants, (3) Allocation concealed, (4) Similar groups at baseline, (5) Blinding of participants, (6) Blinding of intervention providers, (7) Blinding of outcome assessors, (8) Outcomes obtained from 85% of participants, (9) Use of intent-to-treat analysis if protocol violated, (10) Between-group statistical comparison, (11) Point measures and measures of variability.
