In our review, I2 values will be used to assess inter-study heterogeneity. When I2 > 75%, considerable heterogeneity will be conformed, whereupon a random effects model will be applied. We will pool trials when the intervention form of those studies is adequately similar. Specific subgroups will be analyzed according to similar intervention forms or similar design.
