Note: Low risk of bias (o), moderate risk of bias (v), high risk of bias (x). Abbreviations: RCTs, randomized controlled trials.
*van Weert et al. (2005) applied a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design including randomization, hence this study was analyzed with Rob2 for risk of bias of included RCTs.
