Material and methods Clinical trials, cohort studies, and descriptive studies were considered eligible and selected in a two-phase process. Six main electronic databases, in addition to three grey literature databases, were searched. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the "Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument" checklist. From fifty-six considered eligible, five were finally included.
