A total of 41 quality components were evaluated between all tools (see Table 3). Blinding of both the participants and the assessors was measured by all of the included MQ/ROB tools (100\%; 9/9). The assessment of withdrawals/dropouts was the second most common component addressed by the included tools (77.78\%; 7/9), followed by randomization, which was measured by 66.67\% (6/9) tools. There were multiple components that were evaluated by only 11.11\% (1/9) of MQ/ROB tools, and these included non-response rate, cases and controls comparable on basis of design, benefits worth harm/cost, sufficient Power, were intervention groups recruited over same time period, were intervention groups compliant, data dredging, staff, places, facilities representative of treatment, provided estimates of random variability  in data, confounders described, funding/declarations of conflicts of interest, and selection of controls.  The Downs and Black tool was the most extensive, assessing 63.4\% (26/41) quality components.
