???Systematic reviews of interventions require a thorough, objective and reproducible search of a range of sources to identify as many relevant studies as possible (within resource limits).
What's a systematic search?
From: Cochrane Handbook (2011). Section 6.1.1.2. Minimizing bias. Accessed Jun 25, 2014: http://www.cochrane-handbook.org/

???1. Develop a research question2. Identify databases, search engines, trial
registries, etc. in which to run your search3. Develop a search strategy4. Run the search in your first database5. Apply filters6. Export references to a citation manager7. Translate and run the search in your
subsequent databases

► Talk to a librarian
Decide where to search

???► MEDLINE:
What We Are Searching Today
► Biomedical database containing bibliographic information (doesn’t search full-text)
► Over 22 million references, mostly of articles
► Can be searched via PubMed or other platforms like Ovid (we will use the latter)
► Uses MeSH (subject headings), a controlled, hierarchical vocabulary used to consistently describe the subject of articles included in MEDLINE and to facilitate their retrieval
MEDLINE, PubMed, and PMC (PubMed Central): How are they different? https://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/dif_med_pub.html
