Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The study has a proper method for a systematic review and meta-analysis. The authors discussed all of their findings reported in the results section. I have no other suggestion. The paper is ready for publication in my view.

Reviewer 2 Report
Dear authors,
My biggest concern is that, your manuscript is not based on a solid research/knowledge/theoretical gap.
In my opinion, nothing novel is offered as the manuscript as it is not designed to seal any significant gap.
I am really concern about the the possibility for your manuscript to receive citations.
The analysis was conducted in detail, which is a positive aspect. Yet, I can't see any significant of this work.
Thank you.

Reviewer 3 Report
- The abstract should be more concise. At the moment it is quite redundant and not clear. Too many acronymous confuse the reader.
- please avoid the use od acronyms in the paper when there are not necessary
- please specify from which database you have downloaded the papers (webesco, scopus?)
- the analysis is well developed, but a more accurate discussion is needed. For example provide a section on possible future research questions or gaps in the literature!
the quality of the English is fine. The flow is a bit scuttled and can be improve by a polishing on the style of writing
