For all observational studies, a modified Kennelly rating was determined by raw critical appraisal score (out of 21) to assess the overall methodological quality of each study as either poor (≤ 10), fair (11–14), or good (≥ 15). Risk of bias rating, regardless of study design, was determined by internal validity subset items on the Downs and Black score (out of 6) as either low (≥ 4) or high (≤ 3)
^aIntervention study; therefore, Kennelly rating determined by raw critical appraisal score (out of 28) was utilised to assess the overall methodological quality as either poor (≤ 14), fair (15–19), or good (≥ 20)
