D1, Bias due to confounding; D2, Bias in the selection of participants into the study; D3, Bias in the classification of interventions; D4, Bias due to deviations from intended; D5, Bias due to missing data; D6, Bias in the measurement of outcomes; D7, Bias in selection of the reported results. Background color caption: green = low risk of bias; yellow = moderate risk of bias; orange = serious risk of bias; and red = critical risk of bias.
