Abstract Background We explored the performance of three machine learning tools designed to facilitate title and abstract screening in systematic reviews (SRs) when used (a) eliminate irrelevant records (automated simulation) (b) complement work a single reviewer (semi-automated simulation). evaluated user experiences for each tool. Methods subjected SRs two retrospective simulations. In tool (Abstrackr, DistillerSR, RobotAnalyst), we screened 200-record training set downloaded predicted...
Overviews of reviews healthcare interventions (overviews) integrate information from multiple systematic (SRs) to provide a single synthesis relevant evidence for decision-making. may identify SRs that examine the same intervention condition and include some, but not all, primary studies. Different researchers use different approaches manage these "overlapping SRs," each approach has advantages disadvantages. This study aimed develop an evidence-based decision tool help make informed...
