Search strategies
Hamra 2014.
We repeated the search using the method section of the review.
Search: The following PubMed query was devised:
(((air pollution[Title/Abstract] OR particulate matter[Title/Abstract] OR traffic[Title/Abstract] AND cancer[Title/Abstract]))) AND (“1970/01/01”[Date - Entrez]: “2013/12/31”[Date - Entrez])
Citation tracking: Two hundred one additional papers were reported in the original review but were not available from the authors. The corresponding author of the review confirmed that all 201 articles were screened in the preliminary screening. We did not attempt to repeat citation tracking.
Fidelity: The original review does not report exactly how many articles were retrieved from the search before reports (we retrieve 683) but does report that 604 papers were left after initial filtering which is not specified exactly. We thus filtered the results using the following filter (“traffic” BUT NOT “air pollution”[ti]) which left 615 papers.
Johnson 2014.
The authors of this study have sent us the exported list of all 3023 articles screened, collected from 26 databases.
Thayer 2013.
Search: The original search queries were given to us by the corresponding author. The search date is not specified, nor how many papers remained after de-duplication.
