a.   Excluded studies

For the 3 searches, 1916, 316 and 192 unique hits, respectively, were screened on title and abstract (Table 1). Of these, 1853, 310 and 192 were excluded. The most important reasons for exclusion were:

  1. Other population: patients without cancer, or general cancer population
  2. Other intervention: interventions other than those specified
  3. Wrong study design: e.g. narrative reviews
  4. Of the remaining 69 papers, the full-text was retrieved. Based on the full-text, all 69 papers were excluded. Table 2 provides an overview of the excluded studies.

b.    Included studies

None of the studies were included.
