The initial search yielded 1195 citations. After
accounting for duplicates, 790
unique citations remained. Upon reviewing titles and abstracts, 772 studies were
excluded as they did not meet the specified criteria. The full text of the remaining
18 citations underwent a more detailed examination, revealing that 13
studies
did not align with the inclusion criteria. Consequently, five studies that met the
criteria were included in the systematic review. Further exploration of the
references in relevant papers and citation searches
did not yield additional
studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Additionally,
no unpublished relevant
studies were obtained.
