Overall risk of bias

If applicable/necessary, per outcome measure

LOW

Some concerns

HIGH

 

Atılgan, 2020

Definitely yes

Reason: computer-generated randomization was used.

Definitely yes

Reason: allocation group was kept in closed envelope.

No information

Reason: not reported.

Definitely yes

Reason: no loss to follow up.

Definitely yes

Reason: all relevant outcomes were reported.

Definitely yes

Reason: no other problems noted.

LOW (no information on blinding provided but this has probably no effect on the outcome measure bacteriuria).

Igbodike, 2021

Definitely yes

Reason: permutation blocks (blocks of 4, allocation ratio 1:1) with software accessible online. 

Definitely yes

Reason: consecutively numbered opaque wrapped papers in brown envelopes.

Definitely no

Reason: single blinded trial. Patients and surgeons not blinded. Outcome assessors and medical laboratory were blinded.

Definitely yes

Reason: no loss to follow up.

Definitely yes

Reason: all relevant outcomes were reported.

Definitely yes

Reason: no other problems noted.

LOW (patients and surgeons not blinded but this has probably no effect on the outcome measure bacteriuria).
