Accordingly, regardless of the techniques used and the purpose of them, extracting a set of predictor variables and integration them in this area is necessary Therefore, three studies were assessed by using Meta analysis. The main reason for the use of these three studies was lack of sufficient data for Meta analysis of studies that provide evidence of weakness in standard presentation and reporting of studies by researchers.
