The reference lists of studies selected for critical appraisal will also be examined for additional relevant studies. There will be no restrictions on language or publication date. Two independent reviewers will screen studies for inclusion, assess methodological quality using the JBI critical appraisal checklist, extract data, and perform meta-aggregation.
