    ‘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).
