Notes: Number of duplicates represents only duplicates identified in an EndNote file generated from a search of multiple databases performed by a research librarian. This number is therefore likely an undercount of the true number of duplicates.
↵a Percentages sum to greater than 100% because some studies included multiple characteristics of interest.
