Abstract
The databases included in this search are a list of databases: PubMed (NLM), Cochrane Library (Wiley), Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), Science Direct (Elsevier). A grey literature search included TRIP medical database(tripdatabase.com) and Clinical Trials (Clinicaltrials.gov). All final searches were performed on October 16, 2025 by the librarian and were fully reported on October 16, 2025. The full search strategies as reported by the librarian are provided in Appendix (___). They are also archived at [DOI].
A summary of the search results:
PubMed (NLM) from 01/01/2003 to 12/31/2024 (379 Results)
Cochrane Library (Wiley) from inception to 06/03/2025 (240 results)
Embase (Elsevier) from 01/01/2003 to 01/01/2025 (1,586 results)
Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) from 01/01/2003 to 01/01/2025 (421 Results)
Science Direct (Elsevier) from 01/01/2003 to 01/01/2025 (928 results)
TRIP Pro (tripdatabase.com) from 01/01/2003 to 01/01/2025 (92 results)
Clinical Trials (Clinicaltrials.gov) 01/01/2003-12/31/2024 (54 results)
The search resulted in 3,700 results. 1,185 duplicate studies were found and omitted by the librarian [SB] using EndNote 20 and following the following the Wichor Bramer method. This resulted in 2,515 records to screen from databases and websites. Studies were screened by title and abstract by two blinded and independent reviewers. If a tiebreaker was needed, a third reviewer was called in. This process was repeated for full text article screening and article selection.
Description
To identify studies to include or consider for this systematic review, the review team worked with a librarian (SB) 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 (Jacob Brintzenhoff, MLIS) following the Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies (PRESS checklist). The search included the date restrictions of 01/01/2023-12/31/2024 per request of the researcher.
