“…After reading the articles in full, 12 were excluded for the following reasons: four did not address AP or RFT as a specific topic (Almoznino et al., 2020; Janket et al., 2014; Nivethitha et al., 2020; Ojehanon & Akhionbare, 2007), three did not have the hypertension as a specific topic (Costa et al., 2014, Donders et al., 2020, Paju et al., 2021), one did not deal any of the specific topics (Bajaj et al., 2012), two were animal studies (Cosme‐Silva et al., 2019; Martins et al., 2016) and two were review studies (Sasaki et al., 2016, Verhulst et al., 2019). Twenty‐two studies were selected for the qualitative synthesis, but 14 were excluded for not providing the necessary data for meta‐analysis (Ahirwar et al., 2021; Almoznino et al., 2021; Assiri et al., 2020; Caplan et al., 2009; Frisk et al., 2003; Gomes et al., 2016; Liljestrand et al., 2016; Meurman et al., 2017; Poornima et al., 2021; Rashmi et al., 2017; Ravikumar et al., 2020; Ruiz et al., 2017; Segura‐Egea et al., 2011; Vidal et al., 2016) (Figure 1; Table 1).…”
