Effect of 2% Nasal Mupirocin Ointment on Decreasing Complications of Nasotracheal Intubation: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionIn oral and maxillofacial surgeries, nasotracheal intubation is carried out to increase the surgeon's access to the oral cavity. During nasotracheal intubation the risk of trauma is higher than that in orotracheal intubation as there is passage of the tube through the mucosa of the nasal tract due to which bacteria might get transported into the trachea.
aimTo evaluate the effect of 2% nasal mupirocin ointment before and after nasotracheal intubation on decreasing the complications of intubation for oral and maxillofacial surgeries. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn the present single blinded randomised controlled clinical trial, 44 patients were randomly assigned to two equal groups. A sterile swab was used, eight to 10 hours before nasotracheal intubation, to take a sample for culturing from the vestibule of nostrils and the anterior septum of the patients. In Group 1, 2% nasal mupirocin ointment was applied to the vestibules of both nostrils and the anterior septum. In Group 2, no intervention was carried out. After general anaesthesia and extubation, microbial cultures were prepared from the 4 cm distal end of the tube and antibiogram test was carried out. Also, the patients were compared in terms of the severity of nasal bleeding, the ease of breathing through the nose after nasotracheal intubation. Data were analysed with suitable statistical tests.
resultsIn the mupirocin group, 27.2% of the subjects were carriers of
conclusionUse of mupirocin before nasotracheal intubation decreased the complications of nasal intubation in addition to decreasing the risk of colonization of
