Limitations & Caveats
Important context when interpreting this evidence:
- ▸Narrative review, not a systematic review or meta-analysis, so no pooled effect sizes or quantitative synthesis
- ▸Heterogeneous study designs (RCTs, quasi-experimental, pre-post, case studies) limit comparability and generalizability
- ▸Potential publication bias as studies sourced from Google Scholar, PubMed, and PubMed Central without grey literature search
