For each methodological criterion that is met 1 point is given. If the criterion was not met, zero points were given. Publications were considered to be of low risk of bias if: (1) a total score of at least 6 points was given and (2) 1 point was given to questions 6, 7, 8 and 10 (marked with the grey columns).
