JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Randomized Controlled Trials

1. Was true randomization used for assignment of participants to treatment groups?

2. Was allocation to treatment groups concealed?

3. Were treatment groups similar at the baseline?

4. Were participants blind to treatment assignment?

5. Were those delivering treatment blind to treatment assignment?

6. Were outcomes assessors blind to treatment assignment?

7. Were treatments groups treated identically other than the intervention of interest?

8. Was follow-up complete, and if not, were strategies to address incomplete follow-up utilized?

9. Were participants analysed in the groups to which they were randomized?

10. Were outcomes measured in the same way for treatment groups?

11. Were outcomes measured in a reliable way?

12. Was appropriate statistical analysis used?
