Risk of bias assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. In each domain, 1 corresponds to low risk of bias and 0 corresponds to high risk of bias. Studies with a total score (namely the sum score of all domains) of 7 or more points were considered high-quality studies.
Risk of bias assessed by the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool (RoB, version 2.0).
