Figure 1
A PRISMA flow diagram illustrates the process of identifying, screening, and including studies via databases.The diagram is titled “Identification of studies via databases”. The diagram is organized vertically, showing three main phases: “Identification”, “Screening”, and “Included”. Each phase contains text boxes connected by directional arrows that indicate the logical flow of the systematic review process. Identification Phase: It includes a text box titled “Records identified from: Scopus (n equals 3953); Web of Science (n equals 2382); Psycinfo (n equals 716); Psychology Database (n equals 511); A P A PsycArticles (n equals 2). A rightward arrow leads to another text box labeled “Records removed before screening: Duplicate records removed (n equals 1689)”. Screening Phase: A downward arrow connects to a text box labeled “Records screened (n equals 5875)”. A rightward arrow from this box leads to a text box labeled “Records excluded: Irrelevant intervention (n equals 1789); Irrelevant population (n equals 2695); Irrelevant study kind (n equals 1168)”. A downward arrow leads from the screened records box to another text box labeled “Full-text articles assessed for eligibility (n equals 223)”. From this box, a rightward arrow points to another box labeled “Full-text articles excluded (n equals 172)”. Included Phase: A downward arrow leads to the final text box labeled “Studies included in review (n equals 51)”.
