Background:
Literature searches underlie the foundations of systematic reviews and related review types. Yet, the literature searching component of systematic reviews and related review types is often poorly reported. Guidance for literature search reporting has been diverse and, in many cases, does not offer enough detail to authors who need more...
The extent to which a retraction might require revising previous scientific estimates and beliefs – which we define as the epistemic cost - is unknown. We collected a sample of 229 meta-analyses published between 2013 and 2016 that had cited a retracted study, assessed whether this study was included in the meta-analytic estimate and, if so, re-cal...

... However, when the D-dimer is greater than the threshold value [70], and when the calculated probability/risk is moderate to high, the recommended initial diagnostic method is a Doppler ultrasound [68,71]. Moreover, compression ultrasonography (CUS) is the first-line imaging test in the diagnostic management of suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity [14]. Although Venography [66,67] is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of DVT [14], its use in clinical applications is limited, mainly because it is an invasive method that requires an injection with contrast (biomaterial) to observe the displacement of blood flow in the circulatory system, which, in addition to being expensive, is risky for the patient's health, so its use in clinical applications is limited. ...
... Second, SPIRIT-AI [20][21][22] and CONSORT-AI [23][24][25] are specific to clinical trials, whereas it should be recognised that most current evaluations of AI systems are some form of diagnostic accuracy or prognostic model study. AI-specific guidelines that will address such studies, STARD-AI [28] (Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy Studies -Artificial Intelligence) and TRIPOD-AI [29] (Transparent Reporting of a Multivariable Prediction Model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis -Artificial Intelligence), are currently under development. Whilst there are likely to be common elements between these AI extensions, investigators reporting should use, and reviewers appraising should receive, the most suitable guideline available which considers both the study design and the type of intervention. ...
