Materials document a systematic review of infrared thermography for tongue-based medical diagnostics. The repository includes a collection of reviewed publications, a PRISMA flow diagram, and the detailed search strategy with MeSH terms. Karolina Jezierska compiled this dataset at Harvard Dataverse, last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Replicating the literature search using the provided MeSH terms and database list (PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar).
- Analyzing the PRISMA flow diagram to understand study inclusion/exclusion criteria for similar reviews.
- Extracting the collection of included publications to benchmark findings on tongue thermography applications.
Strengths
- Includes a PRISMA flow diagram, a standard for transparent reporting in systematic reviews.
- Documents a multi-database search strategy across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
Limitations
- Dataset contains only review materials (documents, diagrams), not primary patient thermography data.
- The scope is limited to the specific review topic of infrared thermography of the tongue.
