(first author, publication year)

Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?

Definitely yes

Probably yes

Probably no

Definitely no

Was the allocation adequately concealed?

Definitely yes

Probably yes

Probably no

Definitely no

Blinding: Was knowledge of the allocated

interventions adequately prevented?

Were patients blinded?

Were healthcare providers blinded?

Were data collectors blinded?

Were outcome assessors blinded?

Were data analysts blinded?

Definitely yes

Probably yes

Probably no

Definitely no

Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?

Definitely yes

Probably yes

Probably no

Definitely no

Are reports of the study free of selective outcome reporting?

Definitely yes

Probably yes

Probably no

Definitely no

Was the study apparently free of other problems that could put it at a risk of bias?

Definitely yes

Probably yes

Overall risk of bias

If applicable/necessary, per outcome measure

LOW

Some concerns

HIGH

Vijaysabari, 2024

Definitely yes;

Reason: patients receiving mechanical ventilation were randomized into two groups by computer-generated random number

Definitely no;

Reason: not being blinded to both participants and outcomes.

Probably no;

Reason: Reason: not being blinded to both participants and outcomes.

Probably yes;

Reason: No loss to follow-up

Definitely yes;

Reason: All relevant outcomes were reported

Definitely yes;

Reason: No other problems noted

HIGH

Not being blinded to both participants and outcomes.

Dahl, 2024

Definitely yes;

Reason: all the patients were randomized into open and closed suction groups by a computer-generated random number table (www.sealedenve lope. com). The randomization sequence was generated in blocks of four with a 1:1 allocation ratio in the open vs. closed group.

Definitely yes;

Reason: the allocation sequence was concealed from the primary researcher.

Probably no;

Reason: Reason: not being blinded to both participants and outcomes.

Probably yes;

Reason: No loss to follow-up

Definitely yes;

Reason: All relevant outcomes were reported

Definitely yes;

Reason: No other problems noted

HIGH

Not being blinded to both participants and outcomes.

Gahan, 2024

Definitely yes;

Reason: Participants meeting the inclusion criteria were randomized to either closed or open–suction groups using computergenerated random numbers with blocks of varying sizes. The random sequence numbers were generated by an independent researcher.

Definitely yes;

Reason: The sequence was kept in serially numbered sealed opaque envelopes which were opened at the time of randomization

Probably no;

Reason: Reason: not being blinded to both participants and outcomes.

Probably yes;

Reason: No loss to follow-up

Definitely yes;

Reason: All relevant outcomes were reported

Definitely yes;

Reason: No other problems noted

HIGH

Not being blinded to both participants and outcomes.
