NICE requires research to help it decide which treatments and diagnostic methods should be funded by the NHS. NICE has highlighted the need for research into the methods for reviewing evidence from research. Identifying research studies underpins most NICE reviewing. Methodological search filters are widely used to identify specific research designs such as randomized controlled trials or economic evaluations. Search filters are carefully selected collections of words and phrases used to search databases to identify research.Little is known about how well search filters work in finding research. This means that their use as a standard tool for NICE researchers may not be informed by adequate information to indicate how search filters perform across different subjects, questions and databases. Our proposal is to investigate how search filter performance can be measured and what measures are most useful to researchers. We also plan to investigate systems and approaches to provide better access to relevant and useful performance data on methodological search filters. The benefits of this research would be to enhance the tools and knowledge of the tools available to find research evidence to inform NICE appraisals, guidelines and other guidance. The research findings would also benefit other national technology assessment agencies, guidelines groups and related bodies.

NICE需要研究来帮助它决定哪些治疗和诊断方法应该由NHS资助。NICE强调需要研究审查研究证据的方法。识别研究是大多数NICE审查的基础。方法学搜索过滤器被广泛用于识别特定的研究设计，如随机对照试验或经济评估。搜索过滤器是用于搜索数据库以识别研究的词和短语的精心选择的集合。这意味着NICE研究人员将其作为标准工具使用时，可能无法获得足够的信息来说明搜索过滤器在不同主题、问题和数据库中的表现。我们的建议是调查如何搜索过滤器的性能可以衡量，什么措施是最有用的研究人员。我们还计划研究系统和方法，以提供更好的访问方法搜索过滤器的相关和有用的性能数据。这项研究的好处将是增强工具和工具的知识，以找到研究证据，为NICE评估、指南和其他指导提供信息。研究结果也将使其他国家技术评估机构、准则小组和相关机构受益。
