Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: 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. 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 21, 2025, by the librarian (SB) and were fully reported on October 24, 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 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. Searches were rerun on February 22, 2024. The full search strategies as reported by the librarian are provided in Appendix(___). A summary of the search results from databases: PubMed (NLM, 1809-present): 791 results Embase (Elsevier, embase.com, 1974-present): 1,183 results Cochrane CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials (Wiley): 48 results Clinicaltrials.gov: 25 results WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (https://trialsearch.who.int/): 25 results The search resulted in 2,117 studies and 628 duplicate studies were found and omitted by the librarian (AGS) using EndNote 20. This resulted in 1,489 records to screen from databases or registers and ___ to screen from other methods, resulting in a total of ___ records. 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 21, 2025, and the results are listed below. A summary of the search results from databases: PubMed (NLM, 2/22/2024-present): 160 results Embase (Elsevier, embase.com, 2/22/2024-present):272 results Cochrane CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials (Wiley)(2/22/2024-present):17 results Clinicaltrials.gov(2/22/2024-present): 4 results WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (https://trialsearch.who.int/) (2/22/2023-present): 0 results The updated search resulted in 453 new studies. 159 duplicate studies were found and omitted by the librarian (SB) using the EndNote 20, and the Wichor Bramer Method. This resulted in 294 new records to screen from databases or registers, resulting in a total of 1,783 records to screen. 2.
