APPRAISAL OF THE DAY: Methylphenidate for children and adolescents with ADHD

#systematicreview by @cochranecollab suggested that methylphenidate improved general behaviour and ADHD symptoms with minimal adverse effects

Returning to a #SystematicReview search after ~2 month hiatus.

My last note to faculty: "I have some ideas in my back pocket for potential ways to narrow that down a bit more after I receive your feedback."

Current me: wow, I hope I left good notes.

Dear reader, I did not leave good notes.

Our data on what causes #happiness may be much less than ideal (though the strategies aren't necessarily wrong - just lacking strong evidence) #psychology #systematicreview https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01651-4.epdf

Providing three(!) different inputs in order to generate a #SystematicReview is way too effortful in my opinion. I think the AI sector must progress towards just having a single butten which says "generate".

Wusstest ihr, dass ein #SystematicReview euch dabei hilft, sämtliche relevante Literatur zu einem bestimmten Thema zu finden und zu bewerten? Die #CoffeeLecture am 15.06.23 mit Dr. Christiane Suthaus gibt euch einen kurzen Überblick. Via Zoom! https://ub.uni-koeln.de/forschen_publizieren/coffee_lectures/index_ger.html#e66716 @UniKoeln #SysRevs

Have you ever taken a good, long look at the word "school?" I'm working on a #SystematicReview search component for school-based settings, and the word has lost all meaning.

Hi #medlibs @medlibs and others interested in AI hype in research methods

Anyone interested in collaborating with me on a letter to the editor saying, actually, no, creating #SystematicReview / #EvidenceSynthesis searches is *not* in fact a task aligned with the capabilities of #generativeAI ?

@HistoPol Regarding the process I take to gather evidence to recommend where to search for a #SystematicReview, I ask teams I work with to share 10+ on-target articles for their research question w/ me. I manually check each article for indexing in the standard databases searched in SRs and other topic specific databases, sources mentioned in other SRs in the discipline, etc. It takes me a long time to get this evidence, but I ultimately find it helpful and the researchers I work with do too.

@HistoPol @medlibs @academicchatter
Sure. A #SystematicReview is a type of #EvidenceSynthesis research method aiming to rigorously and transparently gather all available evidence on one topic. They are commonly conducted and used in #healthcare as well as other disciplines such as #education, #business, among others. You can learn more about evidence synthesis, and specifically Evidence Synthesis International, in this article: https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-020-01415-5

Nyt se on tutkittu: #karpalo (#cranberry) ehkäisee virtsatulehduksia!
-muttei aina ja kaikilla.

Näyttöön perustuvan lääketieteen auktoriteetti #Cochrane kokosi järjestelmällisen katsauksen (#SystematicReview). Lopputulema:

Karpalotuotteet:

1. Estävät virtsatulehduksia
-naisilla joilla niitä toistuvasti
-lapsilla
-kirurgisten toimenpiteiden jälkeen

2. EIvät auta
-ikäihmisillä
-jos rakko ei tyhjene normaalisti
-raskauden aikana

Anyone experienced with the WHO's #systematicreview bid system and open to chat? A faculty member asked our SR Service to collaborate on two bids they are submitting and I have some questions about the process.
