E.g. juvenile arthritis AND methotrexate
Searching for a specific study design in Google Scholar can result in additional references that are not relevant.
The use of the search filed intitle: will focus results to only include finding the name of the study design in the title field.
E.g. juvenile arthritis AND methotrexate AND intitle:systematic reviews
This search formula may not always be precise as the name of the study design may be indexed in the abstract, but in most cases a study design such as a systematic review will be indexed in the title or sub-title. When using the field index intitle it will retrieve the most relevant results.
