Medlibs Miscellany

Screenshot of asking chatGPT "what are the new Medical Subject Headings (MeSH terms) for 2025?" and getting the answer "It seems like I can’t do more browsing right now. Please try again later. Let me know if you need help with anything else!"

But how will #medlibs know?!

Systematic review search strategies are poorly reported and not reproducible: a cross-sectional metaresearch study To determine the reproducibility of biomedical systematic review search strategies.

#medlibs - from 2weekSR on Twitter. Great work from @carrieprice.bsky.social and others on reporting for published SRs. tldr: "Only 1% of systematic reviews in our sample was fully reproducible for all database searches." www.jclinepi.com/article/S089...

MM.11: Fruits of Our Labor Listen now | With all the mentions of fruit, you'd think all this evidence synthesis talk was a fruit salad.

A new episode, in which Tracy and I discuss which kind of fruit picking (cherry, blueberry, strawberry…) is appropriate for evidence synthesis.

Answer? None.
