Abstract
The databases included in this search are [list of databases: PubMed (NLM), Embase (Elsevier), Cochrane (Wiley), Clinical Trails (Clinicaltrials.gov), and WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (https://trialsearch.who.int/). All final searches were performed on October 06, 2025, by the librarian (SB) and were fully reported on October 06, 2025. The full search strategies as reported by the librarian are provided in Appendix (___). They are also archived at [DOI].
summary of the search results from databases:
PubMed (NLM, 1809-present): 717 results
Embase (Elsevier, embase.com, 1974-present): 1,053 results
Cochrane CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials (Wiley): 43 results
Clinicaltrials.gov: 22 results
WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (https://trialsearch.who.int/): 23 results
The search resulted in 1,858 studies and 545 duplicate studies were found and omitted by the librarian (AGS) using EndNote 20. This resulted in 1,313 records to screen from databases and registers. Studies were screened by title and abstract by two blinded and independent reviewers. If a tiebreaker was needed, a third reviewer was used. This process was repeated for full text screening and data extraction.
The search was re-run on October 6, 2025, and the results are listed below.
A summary of the search results from databases:
PubMed (NLM, 6/8/2023-present): 222 results
Embase (Elsevier, embase.com, 6/8/2023-present): 325 results
Cochrane CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials (Wiley)(6/8/2203-present): 22 results
Clinicaltrials.gov(6/8/2023-present): 5 results
WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (https://trialsearch.who.int/) (6/8.2023-present):1 results
The updated search resulted in 2,433 studies, of which 575 were new. 171 duplicate studies were found and omitted by the librarian (SB) using the EndNote 20, and the Wichor Bramer Method. This resulted in 404 new records to screen from databases or registers.
Description
To identify studies to include or consider for this systematic review, the review team worked with a librarian (AGS) to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The PRISMA-S extension was followed for search reporting. The librarian (SB) developed the search for PubMed and translated the search for every database searched. The PubMed search strategy was reviewed by the research team to check for accuracy and term relevancy. All final searches were peer-reviewed by another librarian (Travis Nace, MLIS) following the Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies (PRESS checklist). The search included no major limits or date restrictions.
