Filters Available in Study Inspector

There are many helpful filters in Study Inspector to show you subsets of studies in your nest. See below for more information on how each of them work.

Bibliographic Filters: #

  • Title/Abstract: You can do a text search across all studies in the Title only, Abstract Only or both (regardless of full text upload status).
  • Full Text Search: You can search for key phrases in all of the full texts uploaded in the nest.
  • Authors: You can filter based on the first author’s name only!
  • Author Affiliation: You can filter based on author affiliation.
  • Publication date: You can filter to a set of studies published before or after a certain date.
  • DOI: You can filter to a specific DOI.
  • PubMed ID: You can filter to a specific PubMed ID.
  • PMC ID: You can filter to a specific PMC ID.
  • Embase ID: If your import comes from Embase, you can filter by the ID assigned to it by the index.
  • NCT Number: For ClinicalTrials.gov records or publications that report NCT Number in the bibliographic data, you can filter to find studies with the NCT number of interest.
  • Ref ID: This is the number assigned to the record based on the order it was uploaded to the nest. For example Ref ID = 1 would be the first study uploaded, 2 would be the second, and so on. You can filter to find a specific Ref ID or a range of IDs. Note, if records are deleted, original Ref IDs do not change.
  • External ID: You can filter to an external ID that can be configured when editing bibliographic data.
  • Journal: You can type of the name of the journal
  • Language: You can filter to English or non-English studies.
  • Keywords: You can filter by the Bibliographic Keywords attached as metadata to the record.
  • Publication Type: If available in the bibliographic data, you can filter to publication type assigned.
  • Bibliographic Status: You can filter to a specific bibliographic field and view records where that field is empty or not empty.

Workflow: #

  • If Dual mode is turned on, you will see the following filters:
    • Reviewer Screening: You can filter to a specific reviewer-level screening decision made by an individual user, including Robot Screener.
    • Screening Adjudicated By: You can filter to a specific adjudicated screening decision made by an individual user.
    • Screening Agreement: You can filter to records depending on the reviewer’s final agreement decisions. Options include: Disagree, Include/Include, Exclude/Exclude
  • If Dual Two Pass mode is turned on, you will see the following filters:
    • Reviewer AB Screening: You can filter to a specific reviewer-level abstract screening decision made by an individual user, including Robot Screener.
    • Reviewer FT Screening: You can filter to a specific reviewer-level full text screening decision made by an individual user.
    • Abstract Screening: You can filter by final screening status at the abstract screening level.
    • AB Screening Adjudicated By: You can filter to a specific adjudicated abstract screening decision made by an individual user.
    • FT Screening Adjudicated By: You can filter to a specific adjudicated full text/final screening decision made by an individual user.
    • AB Screening Agreement: You can filter to records depending on the reviewer’s abstract-level agreement decisions. Options include: Disagree, Advance/Advance, Exclude/Exclude
    • FT Screening Agreement: You can filter to records depending on the reviewer’s final agreement decisions. Options include: Disagree, Include/Include, Exclude/Exclude
  • Final Screening: You can filter by full text/final screening status to find studies that were included, excluded for any reason, or excluded under a specific reason.
  • Module status: You can filter to studies that have incomplete or complete Tagging, MA extraction or critical appraisal modules.
  • Full Text status: You can filter to studies that had a PDF uploaded. This is different from full text review!
  • Full Text review: You can filter studies that had their full text reviewed as evidenced by the “Full Text Review” box being checked in screening.
  • Advancement or Inclusion probability: You can filter studies to be between a specific inclusion probability range.
  • Reviewer Count: Again, if you are in Dual modes, you can use this filter to view records that have been reviewed in specific modules by a specific number of reviewers.

Gathered: #

  • Tag: You can filter to studies that have a specific tag (or any sub-tags underneath it) tagged.
  • Tag Contents: You can filter to studies based on the text in the Contents attached to any tag on any study in the nest. This includes text in table contents too!
  • Critical Appraisal (Risk): You can filter to studies that have a certain level of risk.
  • Data Element: You can filter to studies that have data extracted for a particular data element.
  • Intervention: You can filter to studies that have specific interventions
  • Comments: You can search comments to retrieve studies with matches.
  • Literature Search: You can filter to studies that were found in specific database searches or were expert additions.
  • Related Report Family: You can filter to reports of the same study, which are grouped under a Primary and given a Related Report Family name (or, by default, the Primary report’s first author’s last name and year will be used).
  • Time of Retrieval: You can filter to studies that were retrieved either before or after a specific date.

Allocation: #

Note: This feature is only available to Enterprise subscribers and filters will only be displayed if Allocation is turned on.

  • Allocated To: You can filter to specific modules that are allocated to a specific user in the nest.
  • Allocated Count: You can filter to a specific number of records allocated in each module.
