Evidence Synthesis Methods Interest Group

Artificial intelligence is used at all stages of a systematic review. I would like to know which platforms( Covidence, EPPI Reviewer, Distiller, and others)  have recently introduced AI tools.  I do not have time to try all of them, but I hope the collective mind will help.  I know that Covidence and EPPI Reviewer use AI for screening.

Hi Olga,

Distiller uses AI machine learning to prioritize records during the title/abs screening process to reduce screening burden . Here's a paper about it:

Hamel, C., Kelly, S.E., Thavorn, K. et al. An evaluation of DistillerSR's machine learning-based prioritization tool for title/abstract screening – impact on reviewer-relevant outcomes. BMC Med Res Methodol 20, 256 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12874-020-01129-1

I'm not sure how long this feature has been available, but it's been at least several years.
