Summary of Findings Overall quality in the seven included Systematic Reviews (SRs) was low in three (flaw in one critical domain) and critically low in four reviews (flaws in more than one critical domain). None of the SRs provided a list of excluded studies with reasons nor reported on the sources of funding of included studies. Only 2 studies (29%) accounted for risk of bias in individual studies when interpreting/ discussing the results of the review.
