About Sumsearch
SUMSearch is a unique method of searching for medical evidence by
using the Internet. SUMSearch combines meta-searching and contingency
searching in order to automate searching for medical evidence. Meta-
searching, which is used by from general Internet search engines such
as from Go2Net, Dogpile, and SavvySearch, means simultaneously
searching multiple Internet sites and collating the results into one
page. In addition, SUMSearch adds the idea of contingency searching.
If SUMSearch finds too many `hits' from an Internet site, SUMSearch
will execute more restrictive, contingency searches. For example, if
a search finds 1000 articles at PubMed, SUMSearch may do up to four
additional searches until an optimal number is received. On the other
hand, if SUMSearch finds few hits from an Internet site, it may add a
search of another site. For example, if the Database of Abstracts of
Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE) provides too few systematic reviews,
SUMSearch will add a search for systematic reviews from MEDLINE. In
summary, SUMSearch allows the clinician to enter a query one time,
and then will: select the best Internet sites to search, format the
query for each site, execute contingency searches, then return a
single document to the clinician. SUMSearch removes the burden to the
clinician of remembering details such as which Internet site
truncates with the dollar sign and how to execute a limit for the AIM
journals if too many articles are found at MEDLINE.
After searching, SUMSearch organizes the list of links to documents
that it returns to the clinician. The links are ordered by breadth of
discussion. First, there are links to resources that provide broad
discussion: relevant textbooks, followed by traditional review
articles, and practice guidelines. Next there are links to resources
that provide narrow discussions: systematic reviews, and original
research. Thus, the clinician that is searching a topic with which
they are not familiar, will find links to easy to read, broad
discussions at the top of the list. A clinician that has a specific
question within a topic with which they otherwise familiar, will find
links to systematic reviews and original research in the second half
of the results.
The rationale to organizing the results by the breadth is as follows.
Ideally, clinicians always answer medical questions by reading
original research and systematic reviews of original research.
However, this is not always practical, especially for broad clinical
questions. For example, consider a clinician that is confronted by a
patient in sepsis yet has no recent experience with the disease. The
clinician may ask "Tell me all about sepsis, e.g. how to quickly
recognize, prognosticate, and treat my patient". This clinician does
not have the time to seek original studies addressing each facet of
his question and thus may best benefit from broad discussions
provided by SUMSearch. On the other hand, a more experienced
clinician with the same patient may ask, "among patients with septic
shock, how much do steroids, compare to placebo, reduce mortality?"
This clinician has a specific question and may afford the time to
seek original studies and systematic reviews to get the most current
answer to a specific problem.
Quality counts. We want to provide the clinician with the most valid
medical information possible. SUMSearch only queries Internet sites
that contain evidence written by qualified professionals. The
majority of the links provided by SUMSearch come from three Internet
sites - the National Library of Medicine (NLM), DARE, and the
National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC). All three of these sites are
government sponsored and likely have limited bias due to conflict of
interest. For example, probably little influences the selection of
journals, systematic reviews, and practice guidelines that are
included by the NLM, DARE, and NGC, respectively. In addition, when
querying MEDLINE at the NLM, SUMSearch uses validated search filters
as much as possible. These filters have been developed by various
researchers in order to optimally search for certain types of
articles. For example, when the clinician clicks the 'treatment'
focus, SUMSearch includes a search of MEDLINE using a filter
validated to find randomized controlled clinical trials (2).
