Table 1.

The table presents the assessment of methodological quality in the included studies using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS). The scale evaluates three main categories: the selection of studies, comparability, and outcome assessment. Total scores range from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicating higher methodological quality [18].
