This study is a scoping review of previously published, publicly available literature and did not involve any direct participation of human subjects, human-derived material, animals, or the collection of primary data. As no human participants were enrolled and no identifiable personal data were accessed, formal ethical approval and informed consent were not required.
Consent for publication: Not applicable. This manuscript does not contain any individual person’s data in any form (including individual details, images, or videos); therefore, consent for publication is not required.
Human ethics: Not applicable. The review synthesized data exclusively from peer-reviewed studies already in the public domain. No human participants were recruited or examined by the author, and therefore no human ethics review or institutional review board approval was sought or required for this work.
