Validation reminder. OlivePICO uses rule-based domain matching. Before uploading FOR_REVIEW.csv to your screening platform, sample ~100 excluded records and check the false negative rate is < 5%. OlivePICO does not replace independent dual screening by trained reviewers.

Import search strategy

Paste a Boolean search and OlivePICO extracts the terms into PICO fields
Paste each PICO domain's search block into its own box. OlivePICO will strip field tags ([MeSH], [tiab], .mp., /exp, (MH "..."), etc.), split on OR/AND, preserve wildcards (deprescrib*), and merge the extracted terms into the corresponding PICO field without overwriting existing entries.
