*Fields left blank indicate that the data were unavailable in the original studies, or that estimating a measure of effect was not feasible due to insufficient data

a Corresponds to the number of people who developed at least one adverse event. Where available, adverse events were collected rather than adverse drug reactions

b The n = 146 corresponds to the overall number of people who developed at least one adverse event (i.e., including all therapeutic regimens). The respective effect measure—cumulative incidence—was calculated based on this value

The estimated effect measures—both cumulative incidence and incidence rates—considered only the values reported for global adverse events, i.e., values reported solely for specific groups of adverse events (e.g., only gastrointestinal disorders), severity levels (e.g., only severe cases), or other restrictive criteria were not included
