BACKGROUND: Machine learning can assist with multiple tasks during systematic reviews to facilitate the rapid retrieval of relevant references during screening and to identify and extract information relevant to the study characteristics, which inclu...
BACKGROUND: Web applications that employ natural language processing technologies to support systematic reviewers during abstract screening have become more common. The goal of our project was to conduct a case study to explore a screening approach t...
BACKGROUND: We explored the performance of three machine learning tools designed to facilitate title and abstract screening in systematic reviews (SRs) when used to (a) eliminate irrelevant records (automated simulation) and (b) complement the work o...
BACKGROUND: Deep Learning opens up opportunities for routinely scanning large bodies of biomedical literature and clinical narratives to represent the meaning of biomedical and clinical terms. However, the validation and integration of this knowledge...
Technologies and methods to speed up the production of systematic reviews by reducing the manual labour involved have recently emerged. Automation has been proposed or used to expedite most steps of the systematic review process, including search, sc...
BACKGROUND: Much effort is made to ensure Cochrane reviews are based on reliably extracted data. There is a commitment to wide access to these data-for novel processing and/or reuse-but delivering this access is problematic.
BACKGROUND: Although many aspects of systematic reviews use computational tools, systematic reviewers have been reluctant to adopt machine learning tools.
Ideally, humane endpoints allow for early termination of experiments by minimizing an animal's discomfort, distress and pain, while ensuring that scientific objectives are reached. Yet, lack of commonly agreed methodology and heterogeneity of cut-off...
BACKGROUND: Here, we outline a method of applying existing machine learning (ML) approaches to aid citation screening in an on-going broad and shallow systematic review of preclinical animal studies. The aim is to achieve a high-performing algorithm ...
OBJECTIVES: Despite their essential role in collecting and organizing published medical literature, indexed search engines are unable to cover all relevant knowledge. Hence, current literature recommends the inclusion of clinical trial registries in ...
