title: Search Strategies for a Scoping Review of TMJ and Manual Therapy

description: To identify studies to include or consider for this scoping review, the review team worked with a librarian (JB, CE) to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The PRISMA-S extension was followed for search reporting. The librarians (JB, CE) developed the search for PubMed (NLM) and translated the search for every database searched. The PubMed (NLM) search strategy was reviewed by the research team to check for accuracy and term relevancy. All final searches were peer-reviewed by another librarian (Becca Fülöp, MLIS, PhD) following the Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies (PRESS checklist).    The databases included in this search are PubMed (NLM), Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science (Clarivate), Cochrane Central (Wiley), and Dentistry and Oral Sciences Source (EBSCOhost), using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included a clinical trials registry (clinicaltrials.gov), TRIP Pro (https://www-tripdatabase-com), and MedRxiv (https://www.medrxiv.org/).   All final searches were performed on May 10, 2024, by the librarian (CE) and were fully reported on May 10, 2024. The full search strategies as reported by the librarian are provided in Appendix (___). They are also archived at [DOI].  A summary of the search results:  PubMed (NLM) from 1809 to 5/10/2024 (2,654 Results)  Embase (Elsevier) from 1974 to 5/10/2024 (2,093 Results)  Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) from 1900 to 5/102024 (1,789 Results)  Cochrane Central (Wiley) from inception to 5/10/2024 (1,507 Results)  Dentistry and Oral Sciences Source (EBSCOhost) from 1919 to 5/10/2024 (216 results)  ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to 5/10/2024 (32 results)  TRIP Pro from 1867 to 5/10/2024 (501 results)  MedRxiv from 2019 to 5/10/2024 (61 results)     The search resulted in 8,853 studies. 3,507 duplicate studies were found and omitted by the librarian (CE) using EndNote 21 and following the Bramer WM duplicate identification strategy. This resulted in 4,961 records to screen from databases or registers and 385 records to screen from other methods, resulting in a total of 5,346 records. Studies were screened by title and abstract by two blinded and independent reviewers. If a tiebreaker was needed, a third reviewer was called in. This process was repeated for full text article screening and article selection.
