Fig. 1. Identification of relevant studies based on the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 (PRISMA 2020). Among 3,582 studies identify by database searching, we removed 1,016 studies that represented duplicated data. There were 68 studies left after screening the remaining 2,566 studies.
