A magnifying glass hovers over a map with various coloured human figurines, symbolising geographic search filters and data analysis in research.

Geographic filters in literature searches can help limit evidence to specific characteristics, such as country or region. A scoping review aimed to identify validated geographic search filters & evaluate their development & performance measures.

What to do if PubMed goes down the drain

Information specialist Siw Waffenschmidt asks @hildabast.bsky.social, author of the blog 'Absolutely Maybe' and former NIH employee, for an assessment of the situation regarding #PubMed and #ClinicalTrials.gov.

Please note: The filters retrieve evidence about medical device interventions with an AI component for digital health technology research topics. The filters are not designed to find evidence about AI in general. Also, AI technologies were not used in their development.
