AMSTAR A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews, NA not applicable
^aThe total score is the number of ‘yes’ for each review. It was calculated giving one point for each ‘yes’ given for the 11 items. 1. Was an 'a priori' design provided? 2. Was there duplicate study selection and data extraction? 3. Was a comprehensive literature search performed? 4. Was the status of publication (i.e. grey literature) used as an inclusion criterion? 5. Was a list of studies (included and excluded) provided? 6. Were the characteristics of the included studies provided? 7. Was the scientific quality of the included studies assessed and documented? 8. Was the scientific quality of the included studies used appropriately in formulating conclusions? 9. Were the methods used to combine the findings of studies for AEs appropriate? 10. Was the likelihood of publication bias assessed for AEs? 11. Was the conflict of interest included?
