‘Selection of the reported results’ subsection: Almost all of the clinical trials (n = 10/11) had a low risk of bias in the selection of the reported results as a pre-specified protocol was provided and data produced was analysed in accordance with the pre‐specified analysis plan (Additional file 2). Almost one third of the clinical trials (n = 3/11) raised some concerns as it remains unclear if selective reporting occurred (Additional file 2). One third of the clinical trials (n = 3/11) had a high risk of bias as outcomes that were supposed to be investigated according to the protocol were not mentioned in the study or were not evaluated (Fig. 5).
The original article [1] has been corrected.
