  • *Studies for which the number of participants was unclear or not recorded were counted as having 0 participants for the purpose of this analysis and were not included in mean participant data.

  • †Unavoidable slight inaccuracies in total values when sums are taken are due to occasional overlap of reference names between separate studies, and new additions to the Cochrane Registry between the point of the coding update and the analysis of distribution.
