*n = number of associations showing unfavorable association, N = total number of associations for the specific exposure-outcome relationship reported; #two-sided p-value from the binomial probability test. Small p-value indicates higher probability that the results are valid.
Quality of evidence was downgraded due to serious risk of bias. Quality rating of individual studies can be found in Table S1.
