Searches will be limited to articles in English, Afrikaans, French, German, and Korean, with no restriction on publication date. Two reviewers will independently screen titles and abstracts, as well as full texts, against the eligibility criteria. Data will be extracted using a standardized tool and presented to highlight key findings and research gaps. The initial data extraction form was developed after scanning the literature and will be iteratively refined as part of protocol development.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
