Study (outcomes) | Randomization | Allocation concealment | Blinding of participants | Blinding of personnel | Blinding of assessors | Follow-up | Selective reporting | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fangupo et al. 2016 (risk of choking) [27] | Low risk | High risk | High risk | Low risk | High risk | High risk (loss 12% and 15.5% at 6 and 11 months; ITT not performed) | Low risk | Sample size not defined for primary outcome. Outcomes self-reported |
Taylor et al. 2017 (BMI, eating behavior, energy intake) [32] | Low risk | High risk | High risk | Low risk | High risk | High risk (loss 14% and 21.5% at 12 and 24 months; ITT not performed) | Low risk (but only few secondary outcomes reported from the original protocol) | Self-reporting of secondary outcomes |
