Prompt used
Study design figure for a randomised controlled trial: target population is screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria, consent is taken, baseline measurements are made, participants are randomised 1:1 (stratified by age group) to intervention or control, both groups are measured at 3 and 6 months by blinded assessors, and the primary outcome and secondary outcomes are analysed by intention to treat.
