We compared components of the commonly used appraisal instruments to one another in Table 3 to determine which domains were most often evaluated across instruments. A total of 41 quality components were evaluated across all scales (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 (6/9; 66.67\%). There were multiple components that were evaluated by only one instrument, all of which are outlined in Table 3. The Downs and Black Checklist Tools ranged from was most comprehensive,  evaluating 63.41\% (Downs and Black) to only 14.63\% (Cochrane of all components. The Cochrane  Risk of Bias Tool) Tool included fewest  of the total components  listed components. (14.63\%)  The average number mean percent  of quality and risk of bias components assessed across all included tools was 32.56\%.
