After you have performed Abstract Screening, the citation will be available for Full-Text Review if it is included by consensus. In a Full-Text Review, you can go through the PDF and make further decisions. PICO Portal populates the PDF from the open access source automatically, if available. It is recommended that you verify the title in the full-text PDF with the title of the abstract.
If the PDF is incorrect, you can replace it with the correct PDF file.
To replace a PDF:
Navigate to Reports > Rapid PDF Upload > Retrieved Reports.
- Click the Replace PDF button. The Upload Full-Text PDF dialog box appears.
- To Upload a PDF, click the Upload Full-Text PDF section, select the PDF file, and click Upload File. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the PDF file in the Upload Full-Text PDF section, and click Upload.
Note: Depending on the role assigned and permissions granted, some users may not have access to Rapid PDF Upload. Access can be granted by modifying the user’s role and enabling “Access to Rapid PDF Upload”.
To delete a PDF:
Navigate to Reports > Rapid PDF Upload > Retrieved Reports.
- Click the Reset PDF button. The Reset PDF? dialog box appears.
- Click Reset.
Note: It is a good practice to clear the browser cache by clicking [Shift]+[Ctrl]+R. Otherwise in some cases the old PDF will still show up even if it was replaced.
