a

Percentages in far right column indicatethe proportion of 213 studies from each continent / region; all other percentages represent the proportion of interventions within each continent or region that include each structural type

b

5 multi-regional studies are included in the region with the most countries represented, e.g., a study in 4 countries in Southern Africa and 1 country in East Africa is included in the row for Southern Africa; if thelargest number of countries is a tie then the study is included with the country that has the largest population, e.g., a study in Zambia and Rwanda is included in the row for Central Africa

c
