Additional records will be identified through forward and backward citation tracking. Two reviewers will independently review the studies, assess methodological quality, and extract data. Data synthesis will be performed using JBI SUMARI. The certainty of the evidence will be assessed using the GRADE approach. No date restrictions will be applied (from database inception to January 9, 2026). Studies published in English will be included, while studies in other languages will be considered with translation support at the title and abstract level.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
