The funder had no role in the design of this study during its execution and data interpretation.Authors' Contributions: AM and TPP gave the idea for the initial design of the study. RT and TPP developed the protocol. RT and TPP conducted the trial and collected the data. RT conducted statistical analysis, and all authors interpreted the results. RT drafted the manuscript. All authors revised the manuscript critically for important intellectual content and approved the final version of the manuscript for submission.Conflicts of Interest: All authors are members of Cochrane.
This randomized study was retrospectively registered. The editor granted an exception from ICMJE rules mandating prospective registration of randomized trials since the trial was not health-related. However, readers are advised to carefully assess the validity of any potential explicit or implicit claims related to primary outcomes or effectiveness, as retrospective registration does not prevent authors from changing their outcome measures retrospectively.Summary of Findings table and questions from the test.CONSORT checklist.
