All the relevant papers were identified and imported to an EndNote file to create a combined library. Duplicate records were removed, where appropriate. Title and abstracts were screened by two authors independently and disagreements were resolved through discussions. Full-texts were downloaded and considered for inclusion based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria described below. Also, we manually reviewed the references of the included studies to identify other relevant studies. Additional details about the studies identified are shown in Fig. 1.
