Figure 2 is titled “Disposition of articles.” The figure is a flow chart that summarizes the search and selection of articles. There were 2,341 unique records identified by searching CINAHL®, ClinicalTrials.gov, the Cochrane Library, PILOTS, PsycINFO®, and PubMed. In addition, 147 references were identified from the 2013 review and 1 was found from handsearching. In total, 2,489 titles and abstracts were screened for potential inclusion. Of these, 540 were deemed appropriate for full-text review to determine eligibility. After full-text review, 333 were excluded: 4 for no original data; 112 for ineligible study design; 57 for ineligible population; 48 for ineligible intervention; 49 for ineligible comparator; 56 for ineligible outcome; 4 for ineligible study duration; 2 that were not available in English; and 1 for having been retracted. Two hundred and seven articles representing 193 studies were included in the systematic review. Sixty-seven articles representing 66 studies were deemed high risk of bias; and 140 articles representing 127 studies were deemed medium or low risk of bias.
