  1. a Seven articles featured spillover effects classified into two classes; hence, the 129 spillover effects classified in spite of 122 articles reviewed
  2. b Articles included in this class discussed spillovers in the form of effects different from those initially intended for the intervention, extending either on the same target unit (i.e. treatment) or to the non-targeted unit (i.e. control)
  3. c Articles included in this class discussed spillovers in the form of main intended effects of the intervention extending beyond the unit initially targeted (i.e. the treatment unit)
