The inclusion and exclusion criteria are applied to the title and abstract at the screening step and to the full article at the eligibility step. During the screening step, it was unclear from some abstracts if the article fulfilled the criteria, and therefore a full read is completed at the eligibility step to clarify the status of those records. Two reviewers completed screening independently, and where consensus could not be reached, a third reviewer assessed these articles and decided whether they were included or excluded.
