2 Search the literature 2
3 What you will learn Literature Searches: What we need it for & how to ask the right questions Literature Databases: Overview Special focus: PubMed How to search effectively Useful features, e.g use of filters & MeSH terms Types of searches How to document 3
4 Literature Search: Why Answer clinical questions Find evidence (e.g. background information for manuscripts; systematic literature reviews) Form base for further developments of Devices Procedures Treatments paths Etc. 4
5 Literature Search: What Levels of evidence - pre-appraised sources 1a 1b 2a Systematic review (with homogeneity) of RCTs Individual RCT (with narrow confidence intervals) Systematic review (with homogeneity) of cohort studies 2b Individual cohort study (including low quality RCT; e.g., <80% follow-up) 3a 3b Systematic review (with homogeneity) of case-control studies Individual Case-Control Study 4 Case-series (and poor quality cohort and case-control-studies) 5 Expert opinion without explicit critical appraisal, or based on physiology, bench research or "first principles" Use pre-set filters!
6 Literature Search: How / what to ask PICO(T)!!! 6
7 Literature Search: How / what to ask Literature Search Planning Form Population Intervention Comparator (if applicable) Outcome Time - adults (1 8-65) - degenerative spondylolistesis fusion - physiotherapy - function: ODI min 1 2 months - SF fusion success Alternative wording (synonyms) - degenerative spondylistesis - circumferential fusion 7
8 Literature Search: Where to ask Databases Database Medline over PubMed / OvidSP EMBASE* Cochrane Library databases - Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) - Systematic Reviews - Database of Abstracts of Review of Effects (DARE) MEDPILOT Web of Science* Biosis* Google Scholar PLOS (Public Library of Science) Other specialized databases: URL b05ca?LANGUAGE=en science_products/a-z/biosis_previews/ Derwent Drug File, Psyndex, CCMed, Wiso 8 *institutional access

33 PubMed Exercise 4: Combined topics/ filters I want to find papers where operative treatment of radius fractures is compared with conservative treatment Useful tools: automatic mapping filters 34
34 PubMed Exercise 4: Combined topics/ filters 35
35 PubMed Filters: Pitfalls and solutions Limitations when using filters: Some filters (e.g. ptyp, MeSH) only work after the article has been indexed ( lag-phase) Some filters do not work well for whatever reason (e.g. humans ) How to get around these problems: Hand- enter the filter, e.g. Rather than checking the randomized controlled trial / review field in the filters add AND random* / review to the query instead of using the filter humans add NOT (sheep OR dog OR animal..) to your query 36
36 PubMed Exercise 5: Entering filters by hand I have identified papers where operative treatment of radius fractures is compared with conservative treatment by using the filter function for RCTs and comparative trials. What can I do to make sure the latest publications are included? Useful tool: hand-search of indexed filter information 37
37 PubMed Exercise 5: Entering filters by hand 38
38 PubMed Feature: Advanced search builder 39
39 PubMed: Further Modalities: MeSH search Truncation Limitations of Automatic Mapping MeSH indexing - how to circumvent its drawbacks Related Data Clipboard Documentation 40
40 PubMed features: MeSH search MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) is the NLM controlled vocabulary thesaurus used for indexing articles for PubMed uses synonyms and a hierarchy with major headings and subheadings only linked to an article after it has been indexed indexing sometimes inconsistent no MeSH yet exists for the latest substances & terms lag-phase of up to a year applicable articles are not always identified for most recent articles: use hand-search, but get inspired by MeSH 41
41 PubMed MeSH search 42
42 PubMed types of searches: Hand search Truncation: e.g. infect* rather than infection 45
43 PubMed types of searches: Hand search Truncation: e.g. infect* rather than infection OR infectopyrones[all Fields] OR infector[all Fields] OR infectoria[all Fields] OR infectoriae[all Fields] OR infectors[all Fields] OR infectoscab[all Fields] OR infectosi[all Fields] OR infectosia[all Fields] OR infectosome[all Fields] OR infectosomes[all Fields] OR infectosomes'[all Fields] OR infectous[all Fields] OR infectouse[all Fields] OR infectovac[all Fields] OR infectra[all Fields] OR infectro[all Fields] OR infectrons[all Fields] OR infects[all Fields] OR infects'[all Fields] OR infectsiei[all Fields] OR infectsii[all Fields] OR infectsiia[all Fields] OR infectsiiakh[all Fields] OR infectsionnogo[all Fields] OR infectsionnom[all Fields] OR infectsionnykh[all Fields] OR infectsionnym[all Fields] OR infectspodoptera[all Fields] OR infectti[all Fields] OR infecttion[all Fields] OR infecttive[all Fields] OR infecttivity[all Fields] OR infectueuse[all Fields] OR infectueuses[all Fields] OR infectueux[all Fields] OR infectuosa[all Fields] OR infectuosas[all Fields] OR infectuous[all Fields] OR infectus[all Fields] OR infectvac[all Fields] OR infectve[all Fields] OR infectyions[all Fields])

50 Documentation of your search Reproducibility is essential! Think of how you document the surgeries you do Same applies to literature searches (not forget to document the search date!) What always works: copy-paste your search strings & limits (may use search details field) take notes on the individual steps not forget to document how related searches got implemented 55
