Figure 1
The flowchart is divided into three dashed ovals arranged vertically. From top to bottom, the ovals are labeled on the left side as follows: “1) Plan Stage,” “2) Conduct Stage,” and “3) Report Stage.” Inside the “1) Plan Stage” oval, three rectangular boxes are arranged vertically and connected sequentially. The first box is labeled “Step 1.1: Need for S L R,” with a right-pointing arrow leading to a box labeled “Introduction (Section 1).” A downward arrow connects “Step 1.1: Need for S L R” to “Step 1.2: Review Strategy.” “Step 1.2: Review Strategy” is connected on the right to “Search Strategy (Section 2)” and below to “Step 1.3: Evaluate Strategy.” A two-way arrow from “Search Strategy (Section 2)” connects to “Step 1.3: Evaluate Strategy.” “Step 1.3: Evaluate Strategy” connects downward to the “2) Conduct Stage,” oval. In the “2) Conduct Stage,” oval, a box labeled “Web of Science (1013); Scopus (131)” appears on the left above the label of the box. “Step 1.3: Evaluate Strategy,” from the “1) Plan Stage,” oval connects to “Step 2.1: Search (1144).” A two-way arrow from “Search Strategy (Section 2)” also connects to “Step 2.1: Search (1144).” A right arrow from “Step 2.1: Search (1144)” leads to “Abstract or title or keywords (309), which connects downward to “Full-Text Review of Studies.” Below “Step 2.1” is “Step 2.2: Select (93),” which has a left-pointing arrow from “Full-Text Review of Studies.” “Step 2.2: Select (93)” connects downward to “Step 2.3: Extract or Analyse,” which further connects downward to “Step 3: Report Findings,” in the “3) Report Stage,” oval. Finally, “Step 3: Report Findings” points right to a box labeled “Results (Section 3),” completing the flowchart.Stages of our SLR. Source: Authors’ own creation
