Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The ACT-CP-MA project does not require ethics approval. Nevertheless, we will only include IPD from studies that obtained ethical clearance and informed consent in the ACT-CP-MA-database. As the objectives of ACT-CP-MA are consistent with the objectives of the primary studies which already received ethics approval, and only anonymized data will be available to the investigators of ACT-CP-MA, this project does not require ethics review.
: Not applicable.
: JL, HB, WS, SN, and LMM are authors of trials eligible for inclusion in the review and will not extract data from their own study or studies. All other authors declare that they have no competing interests.
: Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.
