Randomization description
After being selected, the eligible samples will be allocated to two intervention groups and one control group by simple randomization. For concealment, we use allocation concealment, which refers to the method used to perform a random sequence on study participants in such a way that the assigned group is not known before the individual is allocated. Using opaque sealed envelopes with a random sequence (Sealed, Sequentially, Envelopes, Numbered), this method records each of the random sequences created on a card and places the cards inside the envelopes in order. In order to maintain the random sequence, the outer surface of the envelopes is numbered in the same order.Finally, the envelopes are sealed and placed in a box in order. At the start of participant registration, based on the order in which eligible participants enter the study, one of the envelopes is opened in order to reveal the participant's assigned group.
