Title & Abstract Screening (PRISMA) and AI Assist Overview | HubMeta Tutorial #8 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:15Welcome back. Now that we have imported
- 0:19our deduplicated articles into HubMeta,
- 0:22we are ready to start the selection
- 0:26process.
- 0:27As you know, in the Prisma selection, we
- 0:30have two main stages here. One is to go
- 0:34through your articles and just the title
- 0:37and abstract of them.
- 0:39And then the second one is to go through
- 0:42it as look at the whole full text of the
- 0:45article. So, we have named them title
- 0:48scan and deep scan in our process, but
- 0:52honestly, we are thinking that with AI
- 0:56included in the process, it might not be
- 0:59as clear cut as a start from this then
- 1:01go to that. It might be a little bit of
- 1:04a back and forth between them or you
- 1:06just might skip one of it completely or
- 1:10you might just find your own pace with
- 1:12this, but the ultimate goal here in
- 1:15these multiple steps is to have a final
- 1:19includable set of studies with all of
- 1:23their PDFs, all of their sources ready
- 1:27to extract data from. Okay, so pick is
- 1:31the second stage which helps us get
- 1:33through that. Let's look at the first
- 1:35part which is looking at the title scan.
- 1:39This is how it looks. We will see the
- 1:43articles that we have included
- 1:46a an abstract from them and then we can
- 1:50use like some highlight keywords like,
- 1:52for example, I want to see if they have
- 1:54mentioned the word multinationality
- 1:57in the abstract or let's just say
- 2:00performance.
- 2:02We see this one as
- 2:05being highlighted in some of them, so
- 2:07they are mentioning performance. This
- 2:09just makes my job easier in reading the
- 2:12abstracts and making a decision. And I
- 2:14can submit my decision. One thing to to
- 2:17mention here is that we have built a
- 2:20metaphor collaboration. So, if you are
- 2:23having a team of people to go over this,
- 2:26like multiple people looking at your
- 2:29articles, they will also have access to
- 2:31this. They will not see each other's
- 2:33decision. They will not see your
- 2:34decision. They can submit their
- 2:37suggestions as to inclusion or exclusion
- 2:40of the article. And then here in your
- 2:42project, you will see that. I'm going to
- 2:44show this to you through an example of
- 2:46one of my published projects. I will go
- 2:50to my title scan. This will show you the
- 2:54decisions that my team of RAs have made
- 2:58and that helps me make my decision about
- 3:01that. You might see this message again
- 3:03and again that your articles are being
- 3:06loaded. Please be patient with us on
- 3:08that. Believe me, this was a much needed
- 3:11step to make the next steps of the
- 3:14search
- 3:15the next steps of navigating through the
- 3:18platform much faster. For example, if I
- 3:20go to page three, all my papers
- 3:23immediately load. So, I don't have to
- 3:25wait every time, just one time wait. So,
- 3:28now you can see that I have the
- 3:31decisions of my RAs shown here together
- 3:35with the reason they have decided, for
- 3:37example, to exclude these papers. And
- 3:41then based on that, I can, for example,
- 3:44filter based on their decisions and
- 3:47then, you know, submit my own decision
- 3:49there. So, let's go back to the original
- 3:52project that we are working on right
- 3:54now. So, again, I can click accept or
- 3:59reject for each of these articles.
- 4:02Up here, we have multiple ways to filter
- 4:08and show or hide some of the articles
- 4:11down here, which are very important. The
- 4:14most important one is the filters, where
- 4:17you can filter based on, for example,
- 4:20the title or the author or, you know,
- 4:24let's say the years. Let's say you only
- 4:27want the ones from after 2015, you can
- 4:30see that
- 4:32out of
- 4:3320,000,
- 4:35around 15,000 of them were published
- 4:38after 2015, which is, you know, part of
- 4:41the reason we have to do meta-analysis
- 4:43and systematic reviews because
- 4:45a whole lot of research is being done
- 4:48every single year. There has to be some
- 4:50way to integrate all of this. So, you
- 4:52can play around with these filters. This
- 4:54AI part is very important. I will talk
- 4:57more about it when we explain the AI
- 4:59assist function, but let's skip it for
- 5:02now.
- 5:04And the actions that you see here are
- 5:07multiple things that you would need.
- 5:09First of all, you might need to export
- 5:12the papers that you have in this stage
- 5:15along with the decisions that your team
- 5:17has submitted. This will give you a CSV
- 5:20file with all the papers, all the
- 5:22decisions on them, the reasons and
- 5:24everything. The other one is
- 5:27for different reasons, you might still
- 5:29have duplicates in this stage. You might
- 5:32have added another file later in the
- 5:36project or have updated your search
- 5:38later on and you might not have had a
- 5:41chance to run the duplication on that.
- 5:44So, you can remove duplicates when you
- 5:46are in title scan stage. What this does
- 5:49is that it looks through all of these
- 5:51and just adds a tag as duplicate. And
- 5:55then with this button, you can show with
- 5:58this filter, you can show or hide them
- 6:00and then make decisions about them. This
- 6:03enrich metadata, what this one does is
- 6:06that it goes through a long process of
- 6:10going through all of your articles and
- 6:12trying to use Crossref
- 6:15and OpenAlex, like all of these
- 6:18platforms that provide information for
- 6:20our articles, to see for example, if one
- 6:23of study is missing an abstract, let's
- 6:25go and find it. If maybe there is some
- 6:27ambiguity in the name or in the name of
- 6:31the authors, the bibliographic
- 6:33information, that just enriches the
- 6:36metadata of our articles. The other one
- 6:39is detect language. It will detect the
- 6:42language of
- 6:44the articles that you have included.
- 6:46Then for example, you can say, you know,
- 6:49after you have run that, just say for
- 6:51example, show me only French ones or
- 6:53Spanish ones. And this is an important
- 6:55point because
- 6:56with AI being present, it is no more
- 7:00acceptable to say in your inclusion
- 7:03criteria that we only looked at English
- 7:06language articles. We have to select all
- 7:10languages because AI can very easily
- 7:14read and translate from all the
- 7:17languages that our articles have been
- 7:19published. And so, you can't just not
- 7:22look at one part of the evidence. You
- 7:24have to include that. So, this
- 7:26detect language is also important. After
- 7:29you run it, you can filter and see like
- 7:31for example, how many papers in other
- 7:33languages you have. This last one, which
- 7:36is interrater reliability, I will show
- 7:38it in in an older project of mine where
- 7:41I have uh reviewers submitted their
- 7:43votes. So, this is basically the
- 7:46reliability
- 7:48of their decision. So, it calculates
- 7:50Cohen's kappa, the level of agreement
- 7:54between that. This is something usually
- 7:57uh required in reporting. Like, what was
- 8:00the Cohen's kappa of uh you know, the
- 8:02decisions that you know, about
- 8:04inclusion. This gives you the numbers
- 8:06that you need to report. The other one
- 8:09is ML-Rank. So, what this one does is uh
- 8:14this one is the AI rank function that we
- 8:16had in the legacy HubMed 2. So, what
- 8:19this one does is it learns from the
- 8:22decisions that you have submitted so far
- 8:25and rank orders the rest of your body of
- 8:30research, all the other papers based on
- 8:34similarity to your inclusion decisions.
- 8:37So, if I run ML-Rank, it will run it on
- 8:40all the thousands of articles that I
- 8:42have. So, basically, the idea here is
- 8:45that
- 8:46it will bring up in this list of
- 8:50thousands of articles
- 8:52those articles that are closer in
- 8:55wording and in meaning to these ones
- 8:59that I have already included. So, you
- 9:01see all the inclusion one come on top.
- 9:05And then, the rest of them are what AI
- 9:09or machine learning has detected to be
- 9:12very close in meaning and in mostly
- 9:16wording, close to these ones that I have
- 9:20said yes to. So, this makes my job
- 9:22easier. So, the idea here was instead of
- 9:25going through all the 2,000 articles
- 9:28that I have go through 5,000 of them and
- 9:32then when you keep doing the ML-Rank
- 9:35every time the more relevant ones come
- 9:37up and come up, so what ends up being at
- 9:41the bottom of the pool would be all the
- 9:43irrelevant ones. So, after, you know,
- 9:46some point
- 9:48you will see that you if you keep going
- 9:50down, you are just rejecting one after
- 9:53the other after the other. And then you
- 9:55have kept rejecting for like 100 papers
- 9:59in a row, that means you are not finding
- 10:01much relevant articles in the remaining,
- 10:03and that's where
- 10:05that becomes your stopping point. So,
- 10:07you only look at part of this 22,000.
- 10:11That was a big time-saver at the time,
- 10:13but of course, in the new age, we have a
- 10:17better tool, which is called AI Assist.
- 10:21I'm going to talk about that in the next
- 10:23week.
