Handle duplicate study titles #32

Closed tibbs001 closed 4 years ago

tibbs001 commented 4 years ago

Many studies share the same title. For example, 4 studies have this exact title: "Treatment of Breast Fibroadenoma With High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)".

We use the brief_title as the label. Wikidata doesn't allow duplicate labels, so only one of the studies gets loaded. It would be nice to detect when a study has duplicate titles and alter the label - maybe append the NCT ID to the end of the title? Or the start date? Or an integer?
