    @PWGTennant @Garnet_Smuczer @meansell @MaartenvSmeden That is true. With gs you can find articles that other database might have missed. However, if that is the case you should check whether these articles are in those database and find them there as well. https://t.co/XcBvJpstaM

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study aimed to identify the most efficient combination of databases for literature searches in systematic reviews, analyzing actual search results from published reviews rather than just coverage.
  • The findings showed that using Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar together retrieved the majority of relevant articles (about 98.3%), with 72% of reviews reaching full 100% recall.
  • The research emphasizes that searching multiple, carefully chosen databases improves the completeness of literature retrieval, but many reviews still don't use enough databases to achieve high recall, impacting the quality of systematic reviews.]
