q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1

Systematic review searching nine electronic databases, registers, gray literature, and author contacts (June–September 2017). Of 9,102 imported references, 67 full texts were assessed and "All 67 studies were excluded"; "No studies met criteria for inclusion in this review."

"A total of 9,102 references from all searches were imported to Covidence for screening. After removal of 1,929 duplicates, 7,173 titles/abstracts were screened, and 7,106 studies were excluded. The remaining 67 studies were assessed for full‐text eligibility by two independent reviewers. All 67 studies were excluded"
