Abstract: Research Attention and Evidence Certainty in Post-Tuberculosis Lung Disease: FINAL28 Reproducibility Dataset (Version 2.1.0) This repository provides supporting data, evidence-mapping outputs, methodological appraisal results, and reproducibility materials for a study integrating an umbrella review with bibliometric evidence-gap analysis in post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD). The study included 28 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, comprising 258 extracted outcome-level records, of which 244 were mapped to 15 predefined clinical evidence statements and 14 remained outside the main statement map. A separate bibliometric analysis examined 160 original research articles to characterize research attention across PTLD domains. The umbrella-review component assessed methodological quality using AMSTAR 2 and quantified primary-study overlap using the corrected covered area (CCA), calculated for 26 of the 28 included reviews. Evidence certainty was evaluated at the statement level, distinguishing formally rated evidence from statements that could not be formally rated. By integrating research attention with evidence certainty, the study identified four descriptive evidence-gap configurations: synthesis/certainty-assessment gaps, research-active but certainty-limited areas, evidence-generation gaps, and underdeveloped/unassessed areas. These categories are intended to inform future evidence synthesis and research planning rather than constitute a validated research-priority ranking. Repository contents The release contains selected review-level and outcome-level extraction datasets, evidence-statement mapping files, methodological appraisal and primary-study overlap data, bibliometric summary outputs, search and screening provenance materials, supplementary evidence tables, and supporting validation scripts. The systematic-review search was conducted across PubMed, Embase.com, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, and the Cochrane Library on 25 September 2026. Web of Science citation metadata were derived from an archived export snapshot dated 10 September 2026. Reproducibility and scope The repository supports verification of the reported review inventory, outcome mapping, methodological appraisal, evidence-certainty classifications, and selected research-attention calculations. Quantitative primary-study overlap analysis was restricted to 26 reviews because sufficiently reconciled primary-study membership was unavailable for two additional reviews. Certain third-party bibliographic records and licensed database exports are not redistributed. Consequently, the public release does not independently reproduce every record-level bibliometric mapping step. Additional methodological information and full database-specific search strategies are provided in the article's supplementary materials. This version updates the screening provenance to 635 unique records, synchronizes the FINAL28 evidence-mapping documentation, and incorporates the corrected Embase M4 search-strategy description. Keywords: post-tuberculosis lung disease; PTLD; umbrella review; evidence certainty; research attention; evidence gaps; AMSTAR 2; corrected covered area; bibliometric analysis; evidence mapping.
