Abstract
The databases included in this search are [list of databases: PubMed (NLM), Cochrane Library (Wiley), Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics), Science Direct (Elsevier), CINAHL(Ebscohost). A grey literature search included TRIP medical database(tripdatabase.com) and Clinical Trials (Clinicaltrials.gov). All final searches were performed on December 8, 2025 by the librarian and were fully reported on December 8, 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 01/01/2005 to 12/31/2025 (1,977 Results)
Cochrane Library (Wiley) from 01/01/2005 to12/31/2025 (1,132 results)
Embase (Elsevier) from 01/01/2005 to 12/31/2025 (4,461 results)
Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) from 01/01/2005 to 12/31/2025 (2,112 Results)
Science Direct (Elsevier) from 01/01/2005 to 12/31/2025 (137 results)
CINAHL (Ebscohost) from 01/01/2005 to 12/31/2025 (312 results)
TRIP Pro (tripdatabase.com) from 01/01/2005 to 12/31/2025 (1,114 results)
Clinical Trials (Clinicaltrials.gov) 01/01/2005-12/31/2025 (17 results)
The search resulted in 11,262 results. 5,500 duplicate studies were found and omitted by the librarian [SB] using EndNote 20 and following the following the Wichor Bramer method. This resulted in 5,762 records to screen from databases, websites and registries. 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. Appendix ___.
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 01/01/2005-12/31/2025 per request of the researcher.
