Nelson et al. reported only average differences.
Fontenot et al. and Clemente‐Gutierrez et al. did not report average percent differences. Average percent differences reported here were calculated from available data.
Clemente‐Gutierrez et al. reported differences in scatter‐plot form, so approximate results are shown here.
