Systematic Reviews - An Introduction/ How to do them/ Search Strategies/ Common Errors

[@epigeneticnerd4244]

Keep up the good work doc. Our medical system has been bought and we need to bring back hard, objective science that removes ideology.

[@isatousarr7044]

A systematic review is a structured approach to analyzing existing literature to answer a specific research question rigorously and without bias. The process starts by defining a clear research question, followed by a well-planned search strategy across multiple databases using relevant keywords and criteria to ensure comprehensive coverage. Common errors, such as unclear inclusion criteria or incomplete searches, can skew results, so consistency and careful screening are essential. Meta-analysis, when possible, allows quantitative pooling of data for more robust findings. AI and machine learning now aid in the process by automating literature screening, prioritizing studies, and using natural language processing to detect relevant patterns, making systematic reviews faster, more accurate, and less prone to human error.

so awesome to get to see this presentation/lecture, and i appreciate how much energy and enthusiasm u always have in your voice! I am in the very beginning of my systematic review story and this was inspiring! your students are lucky :)

When you started speaking about Lupus, my ears perked up even more! I’m currently having to travel 7 hours to see another specialist, and they have spoken about this AND I’VE PREVIOUSLY HAD CANCER MULTIPLE TIMES (thankfully caught and removed/given meds, etc) but still, cancer non the less. Also I have MS, RA, SPS, SRSD (mine has spread from arch of right foot now all the way through both legs, hips, and to most of my spine (yeah, I’m a mess lol) and other AIs! I’d LOVE to pick your brain! I’ve been all over the USA! I’ve been the lab rat, I’ve been the “You’re gonna kill over soon” I’ve been “there’s nothing more we can do. Your system is jacked!” You’re one I Trust!!! Please reach out, I’d love to speak to you. Oh and PS, three of my docs have recommended that I NOT get the jab. So I have not gotten it ATD! 🙏💜🙏

thanks for following up on that Cochrane review w/ the editor part

Interesting that the highest risk group for myocardititis is military, aged males!

[@Allblack_2011]

Love this!!

[@cynanomite]

Regarding the last topic: Inconclusive vs negative. Particularly for a SR or meta analysis, isn't this distinction also largely dependent on the quality of evidence found in the SR? If evidence is deemed relatively high quality, than con more confidently interpret as negative, but if review largely compreises relatively lower quality evidence, perhaps "inconclusive" becomes more defensible.

Why did the "screw up" happen? What will we do to avoid it next time?

[@castello544]

I'm sure UCSF has many conflicts of interest too!

Great thank you for sharing

CAR-T treatment works pretty well

My brother died right after a pfizer booster shot.

What about the biodistribution data released under freedom of information act by the Australian therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)? That's not clinical data. That's animal studies. But it's damning of this product because the lipid nanoparticles take the mRNA to every cell type of the body.. How is it that our medical system didn't halt this entire platform long before it went into somebody's arm?

[@mantasr]

Fort CAR T I don't believe you mobilize stem cells

[@SK-fq1by3977]

I'm sorry 4 other screens and people are not speaking up?! Weird.

[@eriklondon2946]

Its called a presentation.

[@SK-fq1by3977]

@eriklondon2946 uh....he legit asked them for feedback. I will wait till after the new year for him. He's been awesome until now. Thoroughly enjoyed his realness. I will continue later. You however can do what you do.

[@Andy_T79]

​@SK-fq1by3977 I think it'll take you much longer than just the new year for you to grow braincells.

[@JaredandTasha]

@@SK-fq1by3977they responded it was just hard to hear because they are sharing a single call unit on the table. Have you never been in a corporate meeting?!
