Figure 1 PRISMA diagram showing the study selection process. In accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, this systematic review adhered to a structured and transparent study selection process. An extensive search initially identified 101 studies, from which 45 duplicates were removed, leaving 56 unique records. Titles and abstracts were screened, resulting in the exclusion of 43 studies that did not meet relevance criteria. A full-text review of the remaining 13 articles led to the exclusion of 3 more studies based on predefined inclusion criteria. Ultimately, 10 studies were selected for inclusion. The study selection process is systematically depicted in the PRISMA flowchart.
