The literature screening (HS-S and YF-Z) and information extraction (PL-L and CD-C) were performed independently by two researchers. We imported the retrieved documents into Endnote X9 document management software and removed the duplicates. The literatures that potentially met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were then obtained by reading the titles and abstracts of these literatures. Ultimately, we finalized the included SRs/MAs by reading the full text. All SRs/MAs were read by two independent researchers, and the following data were extracted from the SRs/MAs: first author, publication year, country, number of RCTs included, interventions for experimental and control groups, included RCT quality assessment tools, and main conclusion. The disagreement between the two researchers was resolved through discussion.
