Risk of Bias Assessment
We used the ROBINS-I Cochrane Tool for assessing the risk of bias in
non-randomized studies 14. Studies with low/moderate
risk of bias were included in the quantitative synthesis. A sensitivity
analysis was conducted for studies with serious/critical risk of bias.
Graphics visualizing the risk of bias were created using the Robins tool15. Two reviewers (EP and GNK) independently conducted
the risk of bias assessment, and the third reviewer (TP) settled any
discrepancies.
