The flowchart is titled “Identification of studies via databases and registers” and “Identification of studies via other methods”, shown as two headers at the top. The diagram is organized into three vertical stages along the left side, labeled from top to bottom as “Identification”, “Screening”, and “Included”. Under “Identification of studies via databases and registers”, in the Identification stage, a text box states “Records identified from: Scopus (n equals 232), Emerald (n equals 76), and E B S C O host (n equals 40)”. A right-pointing arrow leads to a text box labeled “Records removed before screening: Duplicate records removed (n equals 21)”. In the Screening stage, a downward arrow leads to a text box labeled “Records screened (n equals 348)”. A right-pointing arrow from this box leads to “Records excluded (n equals 210)”. A downward arrow from “Records screened (n equals 348)” leads to “Reports sought for retrieval (n equals 138)”. A right-pointing arrow from this box leads to “Reports not retrieved (n equals 3)”. A downward arrow leads to “Reports assessed for eligibility (n equals 135)”, with a right-pointing arrow to “Reports excluded (n equals 109)”. Under “Identification of studies via other methods”, in the Identification stage, a text box reads “Records identified from Websites (n equals 13)”. In the Screening stage, a downward arrow leads to “Reports sought for retrieval (n equals 13)”, followed by a right-pointing arrow to “Reports not retrieved (n equals 0)”. A downward arrow then leads to “Reports assessed for eligibility (n equals 13)”, with a right-pointing arrow to “Reports excluded (n equals 7)”. In the Included stage, downward arrows from both “Reports assessed for eligibility (n equals 135)” and “Reports assessed for eligibility (n equals 13)” converge on the final text box labeled “Reports included in the review (n equals 26)” and “Web reports included (n equals 06)”.PRISMA flow diagram of the material selection process.
