CONSORT flow diagram for a two-arm randomised controlled trial. Assessed for eligibility (n = ). Excluded (n = ): not meeting inclusion criteria, declined to participate, other reasons. Randomised (n = ). Allocated to intervention (n = ): received allocated intervention, did not receive it with reasons. Allocated to control (n = ): received allocated control, did not receive it with reasons. Follow-up: lost to follow-up and discontinued interventions with reasons for each arm. Analysed (n = ) in each arm, with number excluded from analysis and reasons.
