“This systematic review was performed and is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement (Supplementary Table S1)9. The protocol for this systematic review was initially designed by the researcher team at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, UK, and registered at PROSPERO repository on 26 October 201810. The registration page did not include any updates at the time of the onset of our study; we considered the topic important because of the ease and availability of this intervention in clinical setting in LMICs and therefore decided to perform the review using revised meta-analysis methods.”
The protocol is now cited as Reference 10:
