Summary of Findings Of the 26 systematic reviews assessed with AMSTAR 2, nine reviews were rated with a critically low overall confidence due to having at least two critical weaknesses. In total, 19 systematic reviews did not have an explicit statement protocol availability or deviation. Further, 16 reviews did not provide a list of excluded studies with their reasons. Three of the five systematic reviews assessed with ROBIS were excluded due to ‘high’ or ‘unclear’ risk of bias in all domains and thus, high overall risk of bias. Of the reviews assessed with AMSTAR 2 seven had low overall confidence.
