Flowchart of search strategy. * Due to frequent gaps in the PubMed database regarding selected forms of treatment, we included older studies if, after consultation between two authors, the study was deemed crucial (both authors indicated “yes” during the inclusion voting (“yes” or “no”). ** In this step, despite excluding studies that did not meet our inclusion criteria, we removed duplicate studies missed by the automated tool.
