Abstract | INTRODUCTION: MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive search of the Cochrane library, PUBMED, Scopus, EMBASE, and published proceedings from major hepatology and gastrointestinal meetings from January 1970 to June 2015. All relevant articles irrespective of language, year of publication, type of publication, or publication status were included. Two independent reviewers extracted data and scored publications; a third investigator adjudicated discrepancies. The κ scores were measured to assess the agreement between the 2 initial reviewers. The review and meta-analyses were performed following the recommendations of The Cochrane Collaboration. Conventional meta-analysis and Trial sequential analysis were performed. GRADEpro version 3.6 was used to appraise the quality of epidemiologic evidence. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:
