a“+” represents the positive effect of head-worn display; “−” represents the negative effect of head-worn display; “=” represents no difference between head-worn display and other conditions. If a study used more than one measure for an outcome, multiple symbols are shown.

bN/A: not applicable.

cNot relevant to this study.

dN/M: not measured.

eLiu et al’s clinical study outcomes were reported over 2 papers; treatment here integrates findings from both studies [20,21].
