Details of the search strategies for CENTRAL, MEDLINE and
EMBASE, the list of handsearched journals and conference proceedings,
and the list of journals reviewed via the current awareness
service can be found in the ‘Specialized Register’ section
within the editorial information about the Cochrane Pregnancy
and Childbirth Group.
Trials identified through the searching activities described above
are each assigned to a review topic (or topics). The Trials Search
Co-ordinator searches the register for each review using the topic
list rather than keywords.
