Complementary Therapies ; Databases, Bibliographic ; Dietary Supplements ; United StatesAbstract: ODS and the National Library of Medicine (NLM) partnered to create this Dietary Supplement Subset of NLM's PubMed. PubMed provides access to citations from the MEDLINE database and additional life science journals. It also includes links to many full-text articles at journal Web sites and other related Web resources.
The subset is designed to limit search results to citations from a broad spectrum of dietary supplement literature including vitamin, mineral, phytochemical, ergogenic, botanical, and herbal supplements in human nutrition and animal models. The subset will retrieve dietary supplement-related citations on topics including, but not limited to:
* chemical composition;
* biochemical role and function — both in vitro and in vivo;
* clinical trials;
* health and adverse effects;
* fortification;
* traditional Chinese medicine and other folk/ethnic supplement practices;
* cultivation of botanical products used as dietary supplements; as well as,
* surveys of dietary supplement use.
The PubMed Dietary Supplement Subset succeeds the International Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements (IBIDS) database, 1999-2010, which was a collaboration between the two U.S. government agencies, ODS and United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Library.Link for e-copy: http://ods.od.nih.gov/Research/PubMed_Dietary_Supplement_Subset.aspx Format of e-copy: Online, Open-Access Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=1877

Complementary Therapies ; Great Britain ; Humans ; Publishing ; Randomized Controlled TrialsAbstract: OBJECTIVE:
To assemble a large dataset of language restricted and language inclusive systematic reviews, including both conventional medicinal (CM) and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) interventions. To then assess the quality of these reports by considering and comparing different types of systematic reviews and their associated RCTs; CM and CAM interventions; the effect of language restrictions compared with language inclusions, and whether these results are influenced by other issues, including statistical heterogeneity and publication bias, in the systematic review process.
DATA SOURCES:
MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and the Centralised Information Service for Complementary Medicine.
REVIEW METHODS:
Three types of systematic reviews were included: language restricted; language inclusive/English language (EL) reviews that searched RCTs in languages other than English (LOE) but did not find any and, hence, could not include any, in the quantitative data synthesis; and systematic reviews that searched for RCTs in LOE and included them in the quantitative data synthesis. Fisher's exact test was applied to compare the three different types of systematic reviews with respect to their reporting characteristics and the systematic review quality assessment tool. The odds ratio of LOE trials versus EL trials was computed for each review and this information was pooled across the reviews to examine the influence that language of publication and type of intervention (CM, CAM) have on the estimates of intervention effect. Several sensitivity analyses were performed.
RESULTS:
The LOE RCTs were predominantly in French and German. Language inclusive/LOE systematic reviews were of the highest quality compared with the other types of reviews. The CAM reviews were of higher quality compared with the CM reviews. There were only minor differences in the quality of reports of EL RCTs compared with the eight other languages considered. However, there are inconsistent differences in the quality of LOE reports depending on the intervention type. The results, and those reported previously, suggest that excluding reports of RCTs in LOE from the analytical part of a systematic review is reasonable. Because the present research and previous efforts have not included every type of CM RCT and the resulting possibility of the uncertainty as to when bias will be present by excluding LOE, it is always prudent to perform a comprehensive search for all evidence. This result only applies to reviews investigating the benefits of CM interventions. This does not imply that systematic reviewers should neglect reports in LOE. We recommend that systematic reviewers search for reports regardless of the language. There may be merit in including them in some aspects of the review process although this decision is likely to depend on several factors, including fiscal and other resources being available. Language restrictions significantly shift the estimates of an intervention's effectiveness when the intervention is CAM. Here, excluding trials reported in LOE, compared with their inclusion, resulted in a reduced intervention effect. The present results do not appear to be influenced by statistical heterogeneity and publication bias.
CONCLUSIONS:
With the exception of CAM systematic reviews, the quality of recently published systematic reviews is less than optimal. Language inclusive/LOE systematic reviews appear to be a marker for a better quality systematic review. Language restrictions do not appear to bias the estimates of a conventional intervention's effectiveness. However, there is substantial bias in the results of a CAM systematic review if LOE reports are excluded from it.Contents note: List of abbreviations vii -- Executive summary ix -- 1 Introduction: assessing the need to evaluate -- systematic reviews with language publication -- restrictions 1 -- Assessing the quality of reporting of -- systematic reviews 1 -- Controlling systematic error 2 -- Summary 4 -- Aim and objectives 4 -- 2 The inclusion of non-English language -- trials in systematic reviews – -- methodology 7 -- Systematic review eligibility criteria 7 -- Literature search strategy 7 -- Quality assessment strategy 10 -- Data extraction strategy 11 -- Data analysis 11 -- 3 Results 15 -- General characteristics of the included -- systematic reviews 15 -- Quality of reporting of systematic -- reviews 19 -- Quality of reporting of RCTs 27 -- ‘Language of publication’ bias and -- location bias are related to the type of -- intervention (CM or CAM) 30 -- The impact of language restriction on -- between-study heterogeneity and -- publication bias 38 -- 4 Discussion 49 -- Quality of reporting of systematic -- reviews 50 -- Quality of reporting of RCTs 51 -- ‘Language of publication’ bias and location -- bias are related to the type of intervention -- (CM or CAM) 52 -- Conclusions 56 -- Acknowledgements 61 -- References 63 -- Appendix 1 Data abstraction form 67 -- Appendix 2 Jadad and allocation -- concealment data collection form 71 -- Appendix 3 Listing and citations of -- systematic reviews included in -- research 73 -- Health Technology Assessment reports -- published to date 79 -- Health Technology Assessment -- Programme 87
