3. About Rapid Reviews

4. Rapid Review: Definition
“A formal definition for a rapid review does not exist. As such, we used the
following working definition, ‘a rapid review is a type of knowledge synthesis
in which components of the systematic review process are simplified or
omitted to produce information in a short period of time’.”
Andrea C. Tricco, Jesmin Antony, Wasifa Zarin, Lisa Strifler, Marco Ghassemi, John Ivory, Laure Perrier, Brian
Hutton, David Moher, and Sharon E. Straus. A scoping review of rapid review methods. BMC Med. 2015; 13:

8. Rapid Reviews in Context: Time
“Traditional literature reviews do not apply additional statistical methods to
the materials found.
Systematic reviews take exponentially more time to do, from the search
strategy creation itself, to going through each retrieved citation in duplicate
or triplicate, to analyzing the data from the included articles.”
Melissa L. Rethlefsen. “I Want To Do a Systematic Review.”
https://liblog.mayo.edu/2013/05/01/i-want-to-do-a-systematic-review/

9. Rapid Reviews in Context: Time
● Systematic review
○ Recommended time =
12 months
○ Average or typical time =
23 months
○ Can range up to several years
● Rapid review
○ Average or typical time =
6 months
○ Can range from 1 month to a
year

10. Rapid Reviews Are Different … How?
Elements standard in systematic reviews that may be altered in rapid reviews
● SCOPE (type/number of questions; number of studies included)
● COMPREHENSIVENESS (search - databases, hand searching, date, setting, languages; study types; text
analysis)
● RIGOR (Eliminate dual study selection and/or data extraction; peer review)
● SYNTHESIS (Limit or eliminate risk of bias testing, quality assessment of studies, quality assessment of
evidence; analysis reduced to either quantitative or qualitative)

12. Getting Organized

13. Questions to ask yourself before you start
What is your topic?
What is your question?
Why this question? What is the goal?
Do you have the people and resources needed? How will you include stakeholders’ insights?
What data do you need to report? What data are you planning to capture? How?
How do you plan to minimize and assess bias in the question, team, process, data, etc?
When do you call it “done” or “good enough”? How will you decide?

14. #1 TIP:
TRANSPARENCY
RULES!!!
“Lesson 1: The notion of a rapid-review is
ill-defined. However, introducing one
methodology isn’t necessarily appropriate. What
is important is transparency behind the process.”

-versus-systematic-reviews-part-2/
Image source:
https://openclipart.org/detail/13842/beverage-glass-tumbler

15. #1 TIP:
TRANSPARENCY
RULES!!!
Keep detailed notes about your process
Keep records of search strategies, including
versions, and changes
Don’t get confused by test runs of data
analysis from draft versions of search; wait
until search is final, and clearly label the final
data set for analysis.
Include file naming conventions that include
metadata such as date of file or search. Image source:

Great
Questions

18. Limiting the Search

19. Limiting the search may introduce bias
“Systematic reviews may be compromised by selective inclusion and reporting of outcomes and analyses.
Selective inclusion occurs when there are multiple effect estimates in a trial report that could be included in
a particular meta-analysis (e.g. from multiple measurement scales and time points) and the choice of effect
estimate to include in the meta-analysis is based on the results (e.g. statistical significance, magnitude or
direction of effect). Selective reporting occurs when the reporting of a subset of outcomes and analyses in
the systematic review is based on the results (e.g. a protocol-defined outcome is omitted from the published
systematic review).” (Page et al, 2014, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25271098)
“Do bodies of evidence that are based on abbreviated literature searches lead to different conclusions
about benefits and harms of interventions compared with bodies of evidence that are based on
comprehensive, systematic literature searches?” (Nussbaumer-Streit et al, 2016,
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5120483/)

20. Limiting the search (report accurately)
● Limiting terms
○ Most potentially serious way to introduce bias. If working from a prior search, may eliminate terms if validated
for sensitivity & specificity of retrieval. Validating terms can be time consuming in a complex search strategy.
○ Can make use of a term more specific by limiting MeSH heading to major [MAJR] or limiting textwords to when
they appear in title/abstract [TIAB] or title [TI].
● Databases
○ MEDLINE, COCHRANE, EMBASE, or … ?
● Handsearching
○ Grey literature sources, table of contents, number of journals selected for custom review, eliminate document
types such as theses, textbooks, etc.
● Dates
○ Be thoughtful. Don’t limit dates if this will exclude important developments in the topic being examined.
● Language
○ If your topic was invented, discovered, or is especially common in a non-English speaking country, you probably
need to include that language in the review.

21. Limiting the search (report accurately)
● Setting
● Study types
● Publication types
● Methodologies
● Age limits
● Geographic area

● Additional or supporting materials
● Timeline

24. Sentinel (NOT Seminal) Articles: Selection
Seminal Articles
● Highly significant
● Influential
● Important
● By a leader in defining the research in the
field; often the first on a particular topic,
method, or concept
● Key studies. Also called: pivotal research,
landmark study, classic
Sentinel Articles
● On topic, not broader or narrower
● Well-indexed with appropriate terms
● Representative of citations that would be
retrieved by a well-done search
● Each sentinel article must represent ALL
desired concepts in the search
● Articles selected must meet ALL inclusion and
exclusion criteria.

25. Sentinel (NOT Seminal) Articles: Uses
Term generation process
● Variant terms & related concepts found in
sentinel articles are likely to include terms &
concepts that might have been otherwise
missed
● Look here:
○ Titles
○ Abstracts
○ Keywords
○ Cataloging terms (ie. MeSH)
○ Bibliographies
Search validation
● Can help to minimize accidental bias in the
search strategy
● Can draw attention to gaps in the search
which otherwise might not become apparent
until after publication

26. Inclusion / Exclusion Criteria
INCLUSION CRITERIA
● Required; reduces confounding variables
● Provide rationale or justification for these
criteria
● Examples:
○ Dates
○ Language
○ Types of participants / methodologies
○ Type of analysis
○ Context or location
○ Outcome measures
SEE: Meline T. Selecting Studies for Systematic Review: Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. Contemporary Issues in
Communication Science and Disorders 2006 33:21–27.
https://www.asha.org/uploadedfiles/asha/publications/cicsd/2006sselectingstudiesforsystematicreview.pdf
Image credit: https://openclipart.org/detail/169757/check-and-cross-marks
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
● Makes sample or subject ineligible
● Provide rationale or justification for these
criteria
● Examples:
○ Publication type / article type
○ Out of scope, lack of diagnosis, ineligible for
treatment proposed
○ Unclear or mixed population
○ Reverse of specific inclusion criteria
○ Outcomes/population/methods not reported
in sufficient detail

27. Screening & Interrater Reliability (Simplified)
Step 0: Calibration & interrater reliability tuning
● Receive blinded dataset from search. Dataset should include only the title, abstract, and unique identifier.
Abstract may be truncated as delivered from the database
● Test initial sample (~50?) of articles with title/abstract screening with both screeners, independently.
● From the title and/or abstract (as exported from the database), are you able to determine whether an articles
matches inclusion/exclusion criteria, and should be selected or discarded?
● Both screeners meet to compare decisions, review inclusion/exclusion criteria, determine criteria for reaching
consensus, decide whether to revise methods or move forward.
Step 1: Title & Abstract screening
Step 2: Full article screening applied to articles remaining after Step 1 screening
Step 3: Request clarifying information from the original authors for final inclusion/exclusion decision regarding articles
remaining from Step 2 screening for which doubt remains or for which there is a lack of consensus between screeners.

28. Data Extraction / Abstraction
For final set of included articles, review each article for metadata, quality criteria, relevant methodology
details, as well as specific data regarding the inclusion criteria, and other items of interest.
Data is recorded in a form, template, spreadsheet, or other tool to allow comparison between the included
studies and support synthesis across the final dataset.

42. Examples & Protocols

43. Why a Protocol?
“Without review protocols, how can we be assured that decisions made
during the research process aren’t arbitrary, or that the decision to
include/exclude studies/data in a review aren’t made in light of knowledge
about individual study findings?”
