Abstract
This protocol documents the methodology of a systematic mapping review conducted and completed prior to its formal registration in a public repository. Registration was not completed prospectively because multidatabase systematic mapping reviews of this design do not constitute a standard PROSPERO registration category. The review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA-ScR (Tricco et al., 2018) and PRISMA 2020 (Page et al., 2021) throughout. This document is deposited retroactively to ensure full methodological transparency. The protocol accurately describes what was done; it is not a prospective plan. No amendments to methodology were made after data collection began.
