However, only the most pertinent papers which addressed the issues of prevalence/incidence, cost of hypoglycaemia, fear of hypoglycaemia, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) associated with hypoglycaemia, satisfaction and compliance were included in the final review.
We will begin by describing the initial hypotheses, or relevant candidate theories, before undertaking a more thorough search of the literature for pertinent papers, and then extracting and synthesising the data based on our theoretical framework.
Using the snowballing method, we will conduct a hand search to identify possible relevant citations from the reference lists of pertinent papers and studies, paying close attention to the reference lists of review articles.
Based on a review of the reference lists of pertinent papers, two additional articles were identified, for a total of 10.
To identify all pertinent papers that assessed the correlations between serum FA expression levels and CVDs, we comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CISCOM, CINAHL, Google Scholar, China BioMedicine (CBM), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases up to May 30st, 2014, utilizing selected common keywords regarding FA and CVDs.
To identify all pertinent papers that assessed the correlations of CCNA1 methylation with malignant tumors, we comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CISCOM, CINAHL, Google Scholar, CBM, and CNKI databases (last updated search on May 1, 2014), utilizing selected common keywords regarding the CCNA1 protein and tumor.
The tabulators looked at papers in space-science journals and pertinent papers in Science and Nature published between 1993 and 1995.
We entered the titles of relevant articles into the PubMed "related articles" feature and also hand-searched the bibliographies of review papers, relevant articles, and systematic reviews from the Cochrane Database of Reviews of Effectiveness to identify additional pertinent papers.
Additionally, the existing literature of TEA-induced microcracking is briefly reviewed and pertinent papers involving likely microcracking in HA are analyzed.
The search focussed on RCT and cohort studies, initially obtaining 1532 titles of potentially pertinent papers (see Figure 1).
