         Organising results – Plan ahead

CRD guidance:
•Set clear rules about who can add, edit records in the
database of references retrieved
•Use clear terminology to record decisions when screening
•Usually preferable to have one person manage the
database of references
                 www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd/guidance.htm
            Reporting the search

• Need to ensure strategies provide enough detail to be
  reproducible, transparent
• List all sources searched
• Search strategy used for at least one database
• Time periods of the searches
         Reporting example - Databases
Search methods for identification of studies

The Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE) and the
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews will be searched for related reviews.

The following electronic databases will be searched for primary studies:
a) Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)
b) Medline (1950-), Embase (1980-), Allied and Complementary Medicine
   Database (1985-), and the Cochrane Hypertension Group specialised register
   (1950-)
         Reporting example – Description
Search methods for identification of studies

    Electronic databases will be searched using a strategy combining the
    Cochrane Highly Sensitive Search Strategy for identifying randomized trials
    in Medline: sensitivity-maximizing version (2008 revision) with selected
    MeSH terms and free text terms relating to roselle and hypertension. No
    language restrictions will be used. The Medline search strategy (see
    Appendix 1) will be translated into the other databases using the appropriate
    controlled vocabulary as applicable.
         Reporting example – Other steps
Search methods for identification of studies

Other sources:

a) Hand searching of high-yield journals

b) Reference lists of all papers and relevant reviews identified

c) Authors of relevant papers will be contacted regarding further published or
   unpublished work

d) Authors of trials reporting incomplete information will be contacted to provide
   missing information

e) ISI Web of Science will be searched for papers which cite studies included in the
   review
Exporting search strategies

          Demo
               Publish your strategies!
Include:

   •   The name of the database searched
   •   The name of the host/system/vendor/interface used
   •   The date when the search was run
   •   The years covered by the search

Example:
   Ovid Medline searched 1950-June 2010
      Well-documented searches…


• Contribute to transparent, reproducible reviews

• Updating the review is faster, easier

• Avoid needless duplication of results
      Managing References - Steps

1. Export each set of references into a separate
   EndNote library for the database searched

2. Combine records from all databases searched
   (Medline, Embase…) into one Endnote database

3. Remove duplicates (iterative process)
EndNote demo
         De-duplication - Endnote


Exact Match:
  – author, title, year, journal, pages…


Iterative process
  – Capture all duplicates
  – Avoid accidental deletions

•   Recommendation: 2 accounts:
    1. Complete data & 2. Deduped data
