Table Legend: Low bias: The study’s methods adequately addressed potential biases. Studies with low bias are more reliable; High risk of bias: Study methods may have brought significant bias. Studies with a high bias risk are less reliable; Risk is unclear: There is not sufficient information to determine if the study’s methods reported bias; Some concerns: The study’s methods may have added some bias, but it’s unlikely to have influenced the results.
