Welcome to Systematic Review Data Repository (SRDR)!

In this module, we will ask you to initiate a new project, create an extraction form, and extract data from one study. The goal of this exercise is to familiarize new users with the SRDR by walking through the extraction of data from one sample study into a new systematic review project. Please plan to devote 2-2.5 hours for this part of the training.

All materials for successfully completing this training are provided, including step-by-step instructions and a sample study to extract. Please read the notes below before beginning these exercises.

Notes:

Log In

1. Go to http://srdr.training.ahrq.gov/

2. Click register and create your account. Your account will be automatically approved and you can start using the training website and its features.

3. If you are not already logged in after registration, please log in using your username and password.

A. Create a New PROJECT

To initiate a new project, follow the steps below:

1. Login to the SRDR with your personal username & password.

2. Once logged in, click Create a New Project, located on the top right of the MySRDR tab, to initiate a new project.

3. In the field labeled Project Title (see item A in Figure 1) enter:

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) Testing for Chromosomal Damage in Uterine Cervical Cells to Predict Potential for Dysplasia/Malignancy

4. In the field labeled Project Description (see item B in Figure 1) enter:

Purpose: We aimed to examine the role of in situ hybridization (ISH) tests, including fluorescence ISH (FISH), to detect genetic abnormalities on cervical cytologic specimens to increase the clinical validity of identification of precancerous lesions or cervical cancer.Data Sources: MEDLINE® (from inception to October 2011, week 2), the Cochrane Central Trials Registry (through the fourth quarter of 2011), and Scopus (including Embase) on November 7, 2011, with no language exclusion. The searches were updated on July 12, 2012.Study Selection: We included any study using ISH with any of the four probes in cervical cytology specimens to detect high-grade CIN or cervical cancer (or clinical outcomes). Cervical cytology had to be classified as ASCUS or LSIL according to the Bethesda classification. Histology outcomes had to be defined as CIN and had to be expressible as either CIN 3+ (i.e., CIN3 or cervical cancer) or CIN2+ (i.e., CIN 2, CIN3, or cervical cancer). Studies had to provide data that allowed for calculation of sensitivity and specificity.Data Extraction: Study data were extracted into customized forms and tables. Data elements were related to study design, population characteristics, cytologic classification, HPV status, sampling, test characteristics, outcomes, and study results.

5. In the field labeled Project Notes (see item C in the Figure 1) enter:

None

6. In the field labeled Funding Source (see item D in Figure 1) enter:

AHRQ

7. Enter Key Questions:

a. Click the Add Key Question button (see item E in Figure 1).

b. In the resulting pop-up, enter the following text into the appropriate text box:

(Key Question 1). For ISH tests for TERC or MYC or HPV 16 or HPV 18:

a. What is the association between ISH tests on cytology for high-grade CIN or cervical cancer on histopathology or for clinical outcomes related to cervical cancer morbidity and mortality? What thresholds were used for positive, indeterminate, and negative results on the ISH tests?

b. How similar are the spectrum and prevalence of the histopathological abnormalities and cervical cancers found in the studies to the spectrum and prevalence in Medicare beneficiaries? How is diagnostic accuracy modulated by age, race, and ethnicity?

c. Click Save. The pop-up will close and the newly added question will now appear in the Key Questions table at the bottom of the Project Information page.

Please note: You can edit or delete the question at any time using the icons under the ‘action’ column located next to the Key Question you’d like to modify.

B. Creating a New EXTRACTION FORM

B-1. Extraction form tab within project navigation

In order to extract study data into your systematic review project, you must first create an Extraction Form. Each Extraction Form should answer one or more of your Key Questions. In this exercise, we will create one extraction form that will address a single Key Question. To initiate a new extraction form, follow the steps below:

1. Click the Add Extraction Form button (see item A in Figure 2).

Figure 2

FISH Testing for Chromosomal Damage in Cervical Cells (see item A in Figure 3).

3. Where it asks: Does this extraction form deal with test performance? select Yes from the dropdown menu (see item B in Figure 3).

4. Select Key Question 1 (see item C in the Figure 3).
