Authors should report unique records identified in searches, records excluded after preliminary screening (such as screening of titles and abstracts), reports retrieved for detailed evaluation, potentially eligible reports that were not retrievable, retrieved reports that did not meet inclusion criteria and the primary reasons for exclusion, and the studies included in the review.
In this manuscript, we describe the DSE architecture and key functionalities, and examine its potential contributions to the signal management process by focusing on four use cases: the identification of missing cases from a case series, the identification of duplicate case reports, retrieving cases for a case series analysis, and community detection for signal identification and characterization.
On the current versions of the reports, retrieved last week from the Federal Procurement Data System, the small-business designation has been corrected, but the company is still identified as minority-owned.
The abstracts were read, and potentially useful reports retrieved in full paper copy.
The number of reports retrieved by the investigators from the different observational periods is listed in Table 1.
Once the relevant trials have been identified and the corresponding reports retrieved, the data have to be extracted from the reports.
Each report retrieved may be associated with a patient encounter that can be of the following types: inpatient, outpatient, emergency, day-care, radiology and lab result.
Of the 736 reports retrieved for initial screening procedures, 22 were not available following two email contacts with the authors or use of interlibrary loan services.
Our final estimate of the global pesticide suicides is based on data extracted from 25 of the 343 papers and reports retrieved for detailed evaluation.
