Hi Paul
Just out of curiosity. Why do you find the systematic review filter "pretty useless" and all other filters great? For me it is almost the other way around. As a clinical librarian I advise clinicians to use the SR-filter first, and to apply a Clinical Study Category filter if necessary. Of these I only find the therapy narrow filter quite good (in case of sufficient evidence). A diagnosis-filter consisting of the word "specificity" is seldom appropriate (missing relevant papers and finding a lot of irrelevant ones, i.e. about antibody specificity etc.)
The SR-filter only has the wrong name. It is a filter for aggregate evidence & it seems to get broader every year. But in general -when there is not an overwhelming amount of aggregate evidence, it is quite good. The Montori filter you show seems pretty good at finding Systematic Reviews only.
You said: "If I am logged in to MyNCBI then this filter shows up whatever search I do! ...But this does not seem to work with the new interface."
The filter I created last year (Cochrane filter for RCT's) still exists/shows the results....
As a matter of fact, I could add the Montori filter to my NCBI (thanks for the tip ;)
What can't be done with the custom filters is that you can "add" them to your search (you only see the results but not the filter and you can't save the entire search). But that was right so from the start (unfortunately)
Is this the problem or doesn't your filter show up at all?
