Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The present study protocol was reviewed by the Saint Louis University Research Ethics Committee (Protocol No. SLU-REC 2018-004). Ethical approval and informed consent, however, were not required.
: Not applicable.
: Potential competing interest may exist in this review because the principal investigator (JMG) has published a research article that matches the study inclusion criteria. To address this concern, two other reviewers (MH & AJG) will independently screen the article against the pre-defined eligibility criteria. If the published article is deemed eligible for review, a similar process will be carried out in risk of bias (quality) assessment, data extraction, and GRADE evidence appraisal in case the published article will be included. The other authors declare that they have no competing interests.
