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.

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.
3. 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. Create a config.json file (see above)
2. Setup the docker image with make docker-build or make docker-build-force to force a rebuild
3. Run the server with make docker-run
4. Or, to deploy on SRA in the /sites/ecosystem folder run pm2 restart ecosystem.config.js
5. Query site at http://localhost:4853
