Search strategies that another reader can actually reproduce.
Suppose a PubMed review covers unexpected kinship findings and their reporting in forensic identification, with PMID 42048788 as a starting reference. Can someone give a worked example of adding one term and assessing the extra relevant records against the extra screening, with a stated rule for keeping that expansion?
Scope: studies using SNP panels in missing person identification or disaster victim identification databases, with attention to complex kinship and incidental findings. PMID 42048788 provides a seed title, but broad searches for SNP panels retrieve forensic identification studies that may not discuss unexpected relationships or reporting decisions. Which reproducible combination of controlled vocabulary and text words can capture complex pedigrees, misattributed relationships, and incidental findings while keeping the identification setting explicit?
Scope: external validation of automated phenotyping for incidental hepatic steatosis, particularly studies that report failed or unassigned classifications when emergency department records are incomplete. PMID 42229200 supplies a seed title, but the available metadata does not identify the terminology used for missing longitudinal history, absent variables, or assignment failure. How should a reproducible search combine the phenotype concept with distinct terms for record sparsity, missing predictors, abstention, and external validation without expanding into all missing-data studies?
