The social discussions display a general agreement on the importance of using optimal database combinations, with posts sharing examples like searching Embase, MEDLINE, and Web of Science, emphasizing the article's findings. The tone varies from enthusiastic to reflective, with words like 'valuable' and 'must read,' illustrating genuine interest and recognition of the study's relevance to improving systematic review quality.
Most discussions acknowledge the importance of selecting the right databases, aligning with the article's emphasis on optimized combinations for literature searches.
Posts show a high level of curiosity and enthusiasm about the practical implications of the research, especially in relation to improving systematic reviews.
Several comments reference the methodology, suggest best practices, or share personal experiences, demonstrating active engagement.
While the discussions highlight the value of the study, they mainly serve to reinforce existing practices or encourage better research methods, indicating moderate impact.
Abstract in brief
- 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.]

Always ask yourself which are the relevant databases for your research question! #systematicreviews ✅ https://t.co/t3oMGSrDXu
Getting a preview of the upcoming of the new web of science interface. Wondering if how much it affect results? Probably not due to the data staying the same, but how it searches is different. Will we need update to very helpful pub https://t.co/BwGkosK6zt @wichor @mlrethlefsen

@helenahhartmann @MarkusRuetgen Depends on the topic of course, but I usually search PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycInfo. This paper is a useful resource, too: https://t.co/bKPu5B6tN0

@AcademySurgical At least a second database, I’d suggest. See Bramer WM, Rethlefsen ML, Kleijnen J, Franco OH. Optimal database combinations for literature searches in systematic reviews: a prospective exploratory study. Syst Rev. 2017 Dec 6;6(1):245. doi: 10.1186/s13643-017-0644-y.

@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
