"This meta-analysis was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The protocol has been published in the PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (CRD42023264057). Using the search algorithm detailed in the Supplementary Material Data file, four electronic databases [PUBMED, Web Of Science (WOS), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, OVID MEDLINE] were searched for RCTs published until June 2022 without any restriction regarding study duration and sample size. Reference lists of all identified studies were also manually searched for further relevant investigations. Reviews, meta-analyses, case reports, summary articles, letters without data, conference abstracts, editorials, posters, nonhuman studies, and non-English articles were excluded."
