Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
While the article is well-written, I have concerns regarding the methods, which seem biased.
The article lacks clarity about the exclusion criteria for the 15 articles that were extracted. Could
you specify why these articles were excluded? Additionally, I did not find the PRISMA flow
diagram; perhaps I missed it in Figure 1, as I was unable to open it. I also encountered issues
with assessing the figures in EPS format, as they did not appear on the preview page. I would
appreciate an amendment to provide these figures in .jpg or .png format.
Although I practically agree with the authors' conclusions, I find that there is insufficient
evidence to support them. Please clarify your methods and define your exclusion criteria so that
I can better understand the study.
Best regards.
