We present descriptive statistics on study characteristics (including quality, in terms of concealment of allocation, reporting of intention to treat analysis, and attrition rates of <20%).
*Number of quality criteria on which studies were judged as adequate (criteria were adequate concealment of allocation, reporting of intention to treat analysis, and <20% attrition).
Similarly, we assume that T p = l T r where T p is the parallel reporting time slot, and T r is the fixed allocation reporting time slot (see Figure 3).
The only published whole-plant allocation report that considers mature lianas is on the naturally grown reproductive Hydrangea petiolaris (Hydrangeaceae).
Knowledge of allocation was adequately concealed in nearly all studies (7/8), whereas an adequate concealment of the allocation was reported in only four of the studies.
The most common feature, dedicated technical support for resource allocation, was reported by 44% of managers.
Inflexible time slot allocation was reported to be the major disadvantage of the e-appointment service.
Due to interdependencies between resources, the decision making process concerning resource allocation was reported to be highly sophisticated [ 5].
We defined quality of reporting as authors providing "information about the design, conduct and analysis of the trial," [ 6] (e.g., method for concealing allocation was reported).
For randomized controlled trials, 5 criteria were used for assessment: (1) randomization described, (2) allocation concealment reported, (3) intention-to-treat analysis performed, (4) blind assessment stated, and (5) a prior power calculation performed.
