After removing duplicates, one reviewer (IK) independently screened the record titles and abstracts. Two reviewers (IK, NR) independently screened the full-text articles and disagreements were resolved by consensus and discussion with a third reviewer as required. Eligible studies were separated into the three settings of interest. A field-weighted...
