本研究旨在比较Embase、Medline和PsycINFO文献数据库搜索抑郁症认知治疗随机对照试验的灵敏度和精度。在每个数据库中的搜索与在五个选定期刊中的手动搜索相结合，形成了评估每个搜索的总池。Embase、Medline和PsycINFO中标准搜索（仅索引术语）的敏感度分别为68%、84%和35%。Embase、Medline和PsycINFO中专家搜索（索引和自由文本术语）的敏感度分别为76%、97%和65%。Medline在识别描述心理治疗评估的文章方面似乎是最有效的。
This study sought to compare the sensitivity and precision of Embase, Medline and PsycINFO bibliographic database searches for randomized controlled trials of cognitive therapy for depression. Searches in each database combined with a hand search in five selected journals formed the total pool against which each search was assessed. Sensitivities of standard searches (index terms only) were 68%, 84% and 35% in Embase, Medline and PsycINFO respectively Sensitivities of expert searches (index and free text terms) were 76%, 97% and 65% for Embase, Medline and PsycINFO respectively. Medline appears to be the most efficient at identifying articles describing psychological treatment evaluation.
