This record contains the protocol of an integrative review registered on OSF Registries on 24 October 2026 (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/BU3RT). The Word file gives the text prepared for the 65 items of the Generalized Systematic Review Registration form, together with the registration metadata (description, license and tags) and the reference list. It is provided as a formatted copy of the registered protocol; the registration on OSF is the version of record. As stated in items 17, 41, 45, 50 and 64 of the registration, the scripts and seeds used for random sampling and for computing Cohen's kappa will be added to this record before the first sample is drawn, and the screening records, the extraction form and codebook, and the extraction, coding, rating and transferability sheets will be added when the review is published.
