Abstract
Background:
Preliminary filtering of searches is one of the most time consuming aspects of systematic reviewing. Cochrane Review authors use a variety of approaches (manual and electronic) but no single method satisfactorily fulfills the principal requirements of speed with accuracy.
Objectives:
Pilot testing of Rayyan (rayyan.qcri.org) focused on usability and assessment of how accurately the tool performed against manual methods, and evaluation of the added benefit of the prediction feature.
