Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• A two-database systematic search yielded 100 included full-text studies. • Functional units, reference periods, uncertainty, and Module D were inconsistently reported. • Structural and envelope rankings depend on functional equivalence and regional scenarios. • Evidence was synthesized by direction and confidence because meta-analysis was inappropriate. • A staged framework links evidence quality, uncertainty, and early design decisions.
