| Risk of bias | ||
| Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
| Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Not reported |
| Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Not reported |
| Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Not reported. Unlikely that blinding was possible |
| Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | Not reported |
| Blinding of microbiological outcome (detection bias) | Low risk | No microbiological outcomes reported |
| Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Appears to be no withdrawals or dropouts. All participants were accounted for in the results section. |
| Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | Not reported |
| Other bias | Low risk | Not reported |
