  Gold standard
Systematic review Not systematic review
Searches with methodological filters Detected by the filter a b
Not detected by the filter c d
Sensitivity = a / (a + c)
Specificity = d / (b + d)
Precision = a / (a + b)
Accuracy = (a + d) / (a + b + c + c)
Number needed to read = 1 / precision = (a + b) / a
Systematic reviews in the gold standard = a + c
Non‐systematic reviews in the gold standard = b + d
