independent researchers, and any disagreements will be discussed and agreed

Agreement will be reached on any
disagreements. The number of applicable cases using the above search formula is
expected to be approximately 1,500. To increase consistency among researchers,
10% of the cases will be screened at the beginning of the screening.
To improve consistency among researchers, a
calibration exercise of screening will be conducted by extracting about 10% of
the references at the beginning of the screening.
(a preliminary screening exercise in which
a pilot screening is conducted to check the criteria and the degree of
agreement and to discuss the results if necessary).
