Note: A, “Methodological limitations,” the methodological limitations were assessed using the JBI. B, “Relevance,” relevance was appraised through a comparison of each finding to the context of the research question. C, “Coherence,” coherence was evaluated by reviewing the fit between the primary data and the review findings. D, ‘Adequacy of data’, adequacy was determined by assessing the depth of data supporting a synthesis theme. Overall rating: high, moderate, low, very low.
