**Table Summary:** The table presents a flowchart outlining the steps involved in identifying and screening articles for inclusion in a study. It is structured into four main steps: Identification, Screening, Eligibility, and Inclusion. Each step contains sub-steps that illustrate the number of articles identified, screened, and remaining through various evaluations. The data is arranged chronologically, flowing from top to bottom, with numerical values indicated for each screening stage. Merged cells are present to summarize the total counts at each step. The flowchart features directional arrows to indicate the process progression, with side information detailing the reasons for article exclusion at various stages. The structure is organized in a clear, hierarchical manner and includes notes on duplicates and eligibility criteria at the side.
