title: Search Methods for Comparative Analysis of The Recurrence Rates in Dupuytren's Contracture: Percutaneous vs. Surgical Management: a systematic review

description: To identify studies to include or consider for this scoping review, the review team worked with a librarian (SB) to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The PRISMA-S extension was followed for search reporting. The librarian (SB) 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, Jacob Brintzenhoff, MLIS, following the Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies (PRESS checklist). The databases included in this search are [list of databases: PubMed (NLM), Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics), Science Direct (Elsevier), CINAHL (Ebscohost), and Cochrane (Wiley) using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included and Trip Pro Medical Database (https://www.tripdatabase.com) and ClinicalTrials.gov ( www.clinicaltrials.gov). All final searches were performed on November 26, 2024 by the librarian and were fully reported to the research team on November 26, 2024. The full search strategies as reported by the librarian are provided in Appendix(___). They are also archived at [DOI]. Abstract
description: To identify studies to include or consider for this systematic review, the review team worked with a librarian (SB) to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The PRISMA-S extension was followed for search reporting. The librarian (SB) developed the search for PubMed and translated the search for every database searched. The PubMed search strategy was reviewed by the research team to check for accuracy and term relevancy. All final searches were peer-reviewed by another librarian (Jacob Brintzenhoff, MLIS) following the Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies (PRESS checklist). The search included no major limits or date restrictions. The databases included in this search are [list of databases: PubMed (NLM), Embase (Elsevier), Cochrane Central (Wiley), Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate), Science Direct (Elsevier), and CINAHL (Ebscohost) using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included ClinicalTrials.gov (www.clinicaltrials.gov) and TRIP medical database(tripdatabase.com). All final searches were performed on November 26, 2024 by the librarian and were fully reported on November 26, 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 11/26/2024 (2,504 Results) Embase (Elsevier) from 1974 to 11/26/2024 (506 Results) Cochrane Central (Wiley) from inception to 11/26/2024 (100 Results) Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) from 1900 to 11/26/2024 (387 Results) Science Direct (Elsevier) from inception to 11/26/2024 (813) CINAHL (EbscoHost) from 1976 to 11/26/2024 (140 Results) ClinicalTrials.Gov (via www.clinicaltrials.gov) from inception to 11/26/2024 (50 studies) TRIP Pro from 1867 to 11/26/2024 (672 results) The search resulted in 5,172 results. 1,559 duplicate studies were found and omitted by the librarian [SB] using EndNote 20 and following the following the Wichor method. This resulted in 3,613 records to screen from databases and websites. 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.
