  2. aThese tables only report parts of the characteristic of included primary studies and quality assessment of the systematic reviews (AMSTAR2). The characteristic of the population, intervention/comparisons, outcomes and quality assessment of the included primary studies are summarized in Tables S3–S7
  3. bReview finding is a summary of the information reported in the systematic reviews. The general effectiveness (by studies) is reported on the top, followed by the effectiveness of each parameter. The comparison between test and control groups are in bold. An asterisk indicates the result with the test of statistical significance at the end
  4. cConclusion is provided when there are results from at least three studies available. The first conclusion is about the effectiveness of the treatment with adjunctive when comparing between baseline and last follow-up. The second conclusion is about the effect of adjunctive treatments when comparing between test and control groups. The third conclusion is the report of meta-analysis between test and control groups
