Figures & data
Shows the flowchart of article selection for this systematic review. Specifically, there is a yellow block at the top, within which is the phrase ‘identification of new studies via databases and registers’. Directly below, there are two rectangles. The one on the left indicates the number of articles identified through systematic search in 4 databases, which is 202, while on the right is the box showing the number of articles eliminated prior to screening due to duplication, which is 20. These two boxes belong to the ‘identification’ section, expressed in a vertical rectangle positioned to the left of the other two rectangles.
Below, there are six additional rectangles arranged in pairs, representing the ‘screening’ section. The first pair of rectangles consists of, on the left, the number of articles screened, which is 182, and on the right, the number of articles excluded, which is 130. The pair immediately below contains, on the left, the number of reports sought for retrieval, which is 52, and on the right, the reports not retrieved. Finally, in the last pair, on the left, there is the number of reports assessed for eligibility, which is 52, and on the right, the reports excluded, along with their respective reasons. The first reason is duplicates, which amount to 3; the second is non-English articles, which is one; the third is articles not corresponding to scientific papers or theses, which are three; and finally, the last reason is articles without the condition of overinclusion, which amount to twelve. The last box falls under the ‘included’ section, and it contains the final number of studies included in the review, which is 33.
Represents a graph of the risk of bias, consisting of a title at the top in bold and black, which reads ‘Risk of BIAS’, and below it, four small squares representing the legend, and a large rectangle containing four smaller rectangles colored differently.
The four squares representing the legend are: the first one is green with the word LOW next to it, representing a low risk of bias; the second one is yellow with the word MODERATE next to it, representing a moderate risk of bias; the third one is orange with the word SERIOUS next to it, representing a serious risk of bias; the last one is red with the word CRITICAL next to it, representing a critical risk of bias. The main rectangle has a solid line at its base ranging from 0 to 100%. In the space of the rectangle ranging from 0 to 68%, it is colored green, indicating that 68% of the bias in the included studies is low; from 68 to 86%, the rectangle is colored yellow, representing 18% of studies with a moderate risk of bias; from 86 to 98 percent, the rectangle is colored orange, representing a serious risk of bias, and finally, the last segment of the rectangle from 98 to 100% is colored red, indicating a critical risk of bias.
