Results: A scoping review is a relatively new approach of evidence synthesis that provides an overview/map of theavailable research evidence without generating a summary estimation. Therefore, scoping reviews are particularlyuseful when a body of literature has not yet been comprehensively examined, or has a complex or heterogeneousphenomena unsuitable for conducting systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence.
