| Number of systematic reviews included | 64 |
| Summary of Findings | The average AMSTAR score in the included 64 systematic reviews was 7:4 ± 1.7. Study protocols not being registered, grey literature not retrieved, incorporation of grey literature as exclusion criteria, and failure to evaluate publication bias and report a conflict of interest were the main causes of low AMSTAR scores. |
