In the second stage, the full text articles were screened with the same criteria and 7 were incorporated for the analysis. From the references of these articles, 4 relevant articles were found that met the criteria. All these steps are visualised in the PRISMA diagram in Figure 1. The PRISMA diagram displays the operation of the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the process leading to the final selection of the 11 relevant studies. Figure 1: PRISMA diagram of the results Reasons for excluding titles/abstracts from the 775 citations: ● 690 citations excluded on Criterion 1; ● 62 on Criterion 2; ● none excluded on Criterion 3.
