The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence's (NICE) United Kingdom (UK) geographic search filters for MEDLINE and Embase (OVID) retrieve evidence in literature searches for UK‐focused research topics with high recall. Their precision and number‐needed‐to‐read (NNR) was examined previously in case studies using a single review. This paper details a larger post‐development study that was conducted to test the NICE UK filters' precision and NNR more extensively.
