PRISMA 2020 flow diagram for a systematic review. Identification: records from databases (n = ) and registers (n = ); duplicates removed (n = ). Screening: records screened (n = ), records excluded (n = ). Reports sought for retrieval (n = ), not retrieved (n = ). Reports assessed for eligibility (n = ), excluded with reasons (n = ). Included: studies included in review (n = ) and reports of included studies (n = ).
