Search Translator in 60 seconds: PubMed to Embase to CENTRAL. #Shorts

You built your search strategy in PubMed. Now you need to run the same search in Embase Ovid, Cochrane CENTRAL, PsycINFO, and CINAHL. Different field tags, different operators, different thesauri. Translate by hand and you lose trials to syntax errors.

Search-Translator converts your query automatically:
- PubMed (MeSH, tiab, ti, ab, sb, dp)
- Embase Ovid (Emtree, .ti,ab, .tw, .kw)
- Cochrane CENTRAL (CRG-coded fields)
- PsycINFO (MA descriptors)
- CINAHL (CINAHL Headings)
- Web of Science core collection
- Scopus
- Google Scholar (lossy - flagged as such)

Conversion features:
- MeSH to Emtree to CINAHL Headings cross-mapping using NLM Metathesaurus
- Boolean operators preserved exactly
- Truncation, wildcards, proximity operators translated per platform
- Date filters, language filters, study type filters
- Polyglot Search Translator design principles (Bramer Rethlefsen Kleijnen Franco 2017 Research Synthesis Methods)

Workflow position: use AFTER PICO finalisation, BEFORE running database searches. The PRISMA-S extension explicitly requires reporting your translated search strategy per database.

Why this matters: Cochrane Handbook chapter 4.4.5 mandates that all databases use the same conceptual search (translated for platform syntax). Skipping translation accidentally narrows your search and biases against finding trials.

Output: PRISMA-S compliant search-strategy report ready for your paper appendix.
