TABLE 1.
Query Property | Criteria for Inexecutable Queries |
---|---|
Timespan | a) Queries did not provide a precise time range for MDR retrieval. b) Queries contained MDRs 10 y earlier than the time the reproduction experiments were conducted. (MAUDE API, see details in Supplementary Materials S1, http://links.lww.com/JPS/A617) c) Queries presented start and end dates with defined days, months, and years, which are not supported by the simply search. (MAUDE API, see details in Supplementary Materials S1, http://links.lww.com/JPS/A617) |
Query fields | a) Queries did not clearly describe the fields used. b) Queries used simple search and advanced search APIs simultaneously. (MAUDE API, see details in Supplementary Materials S1, http://links.lww.com/JPS/A617) |
No. MDRs reported | a) Queries did not report the exact number of MDRs reported. b) Queries provided the number of MDRs after postquery data processing and missed the raw number of MDRs returned right after the query was executed. c) The number of returned MDRs shown in the articles was too large to be reproduced (the threshold of the number was set to 2.9 million). |
