  1. The 5th column, named ‘Cluster’, is the result of the data driven cluster analysis using Adjutant, which is explained in “Eligible study selection approaches” section. The 6th and 7th column, named ‘Sorted on position’ and ‘Total search terms’ show the ranking of the a priori selected articles based on presence of search terms, this approach is also explained in “The conducting phase” section.
