On behalf of all authors, we regret to inform that in the above-mentioned article, we detected a minor error related to the written information in the “Certainty of the evidence (GRADE)” subsection of Results. The relevant statement reads as follows:

“The certainty of the evidence was mainly downgraded due to the presence of serious concerns associated with a high risk of bias and serious concerns regarding the indirectness of evidence (e.g., there was high heterogeneity in experimental interventions as well as cancer characteristics)”.

The indicated sentence should be substituted to:

“The certainty of the evidence was mainly downgraded due to the presence of serious concerns of biases and serious concerns regarding the indirectness of evidence (e.g., there was high heterogeneity in experimental interventions as well as cancer characteristics)”.

In addition, the Supplementary file 28 (The certainty of evidence: GRADE; table) has some errors that must be modified as follows:

In the GRADE Risk of Bias Domain, the expression (-2) should be changed to (-1). In addition, the expression (-1) should be added in the GRADE Indirectness of evidence domain, below the word serious.

These changes have not modified the overall results of GRADE.

Finally, all authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the Editors, the journal and the readers.

The original article has been corrected.
