Eligibility criteria | 6 | Specify study characteristics (e.g., PICOS, length of follow-up) and report characteristics (e.g., years considered, language, publication status) used as criteria for eligibility, giving rationale | Supplementary file – Microsoft Excel |
Information sources | 7 | Describe all information sources (e.g., databases with dates of coverage, contact with study authors to identify additional studies) in the search and date last searched | Supplementary file – Microsoft Excel |
Search | 8 | Present full electronic search strategy for at least one database, including any limits used, such that it could be repeated | Supplementary file – Microsoft Excel |
Study selection | 9 | State the process for selecting studies (i.e., screening, eligibility, included in systematic review, and, if applicable, included in the meta-analysis) | Supplementary file – Microsoft Excel |
