with sacral nerve stimulation for irritable bowel syndrome.
Version:4Date:13 May 2014
Reviewer: Peter Bytzer
Reviewer's report:
I am very pleased to see this revised version. I have a few suggestions for:
Discretionary Revisions
1. I suggest that the P-values in the abstract are also rounded to the nearest
integer in line with my recommendation for the main text
2. On page 12, I suggest that the authors give the precise number of patients,
who were unblinded to the stimulator activation in stead of stating "around
three-fifths..."
3. Also on page 12: please rephrase last 5 lines. Apparently something is
missing.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
