All hits obtained by the database searches were downloaded to the Rayyan reference management platform [30 (link)] and inserted into EndNote (Clarivate Analytics, Philadelphia, USA). Prior to screening, duplicates were removed. Two authors (AB and IK) independently screened title and abstract of the records, one by using the software EndNote (Clarivate Analytics, Philadelphia, USA) and the other with the help of the free software “rayyan” [30 (link)]. After screening, full texts of relevant hits were read by the two authors (IK, AB) to decide upon in- or exclusion. If their decisions did not match, discussion took place until consensus was achieved. If consensus would not have been reached, a third author (IB or HB) would have finally decided upon in- or exclusion of the record in question; however, this was not necessary.

Streamlining Systematic Review Process

We used an online systematic review management software, Covidence, to streamline the review process (Covidence Systematic Review Software, Veritas Health Innovation, Melbourne, Australia). As the first step of our review process, we exported all search results from each database into EndNote (Clarivate Analytics, Philadelphia, USA). Next, we imported citations from EndNote (Clarivate Analytics, Philadelphia, USA) into Covidence. As part of this import process, Covidence automatically de-duplicated citations based on a match of the citation title, author, and date.
After search results were imported into Covidence, we performed a two-stage review process in which we screened references for inclusion based on eligibility criteria. To ensure reviewer agreement, two reviewers (KS and ED) piloted the screening process with 25 citations. Inter-rater agreement was high (95%) and thus formal screening began. Then, two members of the research team performed title and abstract screening independently. Upon completion of title and abstract screening, two reviewers screened remaining studies in their full-text, PDF form. Only articles meeting all inclusion criteria moved forward for data extraction. We resolved disagreements between reviewers at any stage using consensus and discussion. Lastly, we performed forward and backward citation searches for the final list of included studies.

Adolescent STI Prevalence Systematic Search

A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE (embase.com ), and LILACS (iAHx interface – BIREME) using keywords related with “adolescents,” “sexually transmitted infections,” and “prevalence or incidence.” The search strategies were designed by the Cochrane Sexually Transmitted Infections Group (supplementary material available upon request). Complementary searches were done in the following search engines and websites: Joanna Briggs Institute Library, Google, webpages of the ministries of health of the LAC countries, OpenGrey Repository, Pan American Health Organization, World Health Organization, and UNICEF. Duplicate records were removed using EndNote (Clarivate). The last search was undertaken in February 2021.

Accelerating Systematic Review Screening

All records retrieved by the literature search were managed in EndNote (version X8.1, Clarivate Analytics). To accelerate the screening process, we used an approach described by Khangura et al. [17 (link)]: One researcher (TR) screened the titles of all records and second researcher (DP) screened only the records excluded by the first researcher. Discrepancies were resolved by discussion.

All publications identified in the search of peer-reviewed databases and relevant publications from the gray literature will be exported into a bibliographic software Endnote (Clarivate Analytics, Philadelphia, PA, USA), including the citation and abstract. Duplicate publications will be removed.

Early COVID-19 Clinical Characteristics Review

A comprehensive search for studies on Medline (OVID), EMBASE (OVID) and Global Health (OVID) (search date 29 April 2020) was conducted for studies from inception to 28 April 2020. We chose this date limit as we aimed to capture the evidence produced in the early months of the pandemic. Key search terms used were: (Covid-19 OR SARS-CoV-2 OR 2019-nCoV OR novel coronavirus) AND (clinical OR hospital OR admitted) AND (characteristics OR features OR symptoms OR signs), developed with a librarian and piloted prior to use. Studies were restricted to the English language. We did not include pre-prints as these were likely to be updated pending peer reviewed. The electronic database results were supplemented with a Google Scholar search on the 28 April 2020 with the first 100 results screened for inclusion to identify missed peer reviewed articles. Results were uploaded onto EndNote (Clarivate Analytics) and de-duplicated.

Systematic Review of RSV Research

Systematic literature searches were conducted on Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection, identified as comprehensive medical databases likely to provide an accurate reflection of RSV-related research output. The main search heading used was Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Literature searches were limited to European, North American, Central American and Caribbean countries as defined by UN region [8 ]. Searches were limited to articles published between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2015. Searches for European countries were undertaken in January 2016 and subsequently for North/Central America in May 2016. The full search strategy is detailed in Appendix S1 of Online Supplementary Document

Once searches are complete, all references will be downloaded to Endnote [version X9 3.2, Clarivate Analytics, PA, USA] and duplicates removed. Following this, studies will be uploaded to Rayyan [Qatar Computing Research Institute, Doha, Qatar] where titles and abstracts will be screened. Two reviewers (RRM, SB) will screen abstracts against inclusion criteria seen in Table 1 while blinded to each other’s decisions, and conflicts will be resolved through discussion between the other members of the review team (CME, MMK). Studies that meet the inclusion criteria at this stage will subsequently undergo blinded full-text screening by two reviewers (RRM, SB) using Rayyan. A PRISMA flow diagram will be developed to show the progress from the initial search to final selection of studies to be included in review.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
