Systematic Review Query Visualisation and Understanding Interface

searchrefiner is an interactive interface for visualising and understanding queries used to retrieve medical literature for systematic reviews.

It is currently in development, however please find a demo link on the project home page.

Building

searchrefiner is built as a Go application. It needs to be installed slightly differently than most Go applications:

  1. First, clone this repository.
  2. Configure the application. The application can then be configured via a config.json (a sample is provided). In this minimal file, everything up to and including Entrez needs to be configured. The other options below this key do not need to be configured to run searchrefiner in a minimal setting and they should not be changed unless you know what you are doing. Many of the tools require specific attributes in the configuration. Please get in contact if you are setting up your own instance of searchrefiner to determine how these advances configuration items should be set.
  3. Ensure that g++-5 and cmake are installed on your system.
  4. Run make run. This will download all of the necessary dependencies and run the application.

At the moment, you still need to make an account to use searchrefiner, even locally. The account that you make is a local account and is not the same as the one you might create on another instance of searchrefiner.

Docker build

searchrefiner can also be run from a preprepared Dockerfile:

  1. Setup the docker image with docker build -t ielab-searchrefiner .
  2. Create a config.json file (see above)
  3. Run the server with docker run --net=host ielab-searchrefiner
  4. Open the site at http://localhost:4853

Documentation

Documentation for authentication, administration, and usage can be found at the project homepage: ielab.io/searchrefiner
