Research librarian who works with systematic reviews here - including the correct studies turned up by your searches has to do with your inclusion/exclusion criteria. Multiple team members should have evaluated each result for relevance. Not your librarian’s fault unless they were involved more than our hosts indicated (co-author level at minimum).
Just because you used a PRISMA framework does not mean your team had comprehension or analysis skills.
Someone could use the same search terms and databases (duplicability is HUGE for systematic reviews) and conduct a MUCH more accurate analysis.
I do think it’s worth pointing out that, especially in the last couple years, more reputable journals have been moving towards the open access model (for example, the journal bioinformatics now only accepts OA content) in a push to make scientific research more accessible to the general public. That’s not to say that there aren’t issues with it, but I could see that being the logic behind the open access publication, especially for such a politically relevant subject. Great episode!
