The table displays the included searched literature, with the journal each paper is cited from as well the associated impact factor quintile (Q1 = First Quintile, Q2 = Second Quintile), from the Scimago Journal and Country Rank [22]. Bias domains were determined by examination of study design and methodology of each paper [24]
