Relying on MS Excel for literature screening may seem convenient, but it isn’t designed for the complexities of systematic literature reviews (SLRs). What if there is an AI tool for Literature Screening? specifically designed for screening high volumes of literature, often required for systematic reviews?

SYMPRO-AI’s latest literature screening tool, ‘AccuScreener’ made the process even simpler.

How SYMPRO-AI’s AccuScreener Improves Literature Screening?

Conducting SLR has long been one of the most time-consuming and error-prone tasks in research. Traditionally, it required researchers to spend countless hours with careful manual reading of abstracts, screening studies, and managing references. However, with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), the screening process has revolutionised tremendously by automating repetitive tasks, precise understanding, improving accuracy, and allowing researchers to focus on deeper analysis and discovery.

AccuScreener, an AI tool for literature screening, is a component of the SYMPRO-AI suite, designed to perform both the first-pass and full-text screening.

Using the protocol with the defined eligibility criteria, AI automates the entire screening process. With the completion of the first-pass screening, all relevant citations are automatically directed to the full-text screening. The tool also provides a brief data extraction of key study characteristics, such as sample size and study design.

Screening Modes in AccuScreener

If you’re hesitant to rely entirely on an AI-powered process, AccuScreener offers different screening modes.

AI Screener Mode: In this mode, AI works solely alongside human reviewers, independently screening studies. The AI’s decisions remain hidden from the user.

AI Assistant Mode: AI acts as a helper, offering suggestions during Title-Abstract and Full-Text screening using predefined criteria. The AI’s decisions are visible, making it easier for human reviewers to make informed choices.

Manual Screening: No AI involvement—humans handle all screening decisions manually from start to completion.

Key Features that make AccuScreener Stand Out

User-friendly input interface: Setting up a new project is simple. Upload three files – Inclusion/Exclusion criteria, protocol, and citations. Ready-to-use templates are available to save time.
Process large volume of literature: AccuScreener can make up to 100 screening decisions per minute and process up to 50,000 citations per day during Title and Abstract screening. It efficiently integrates full-text articles (PDF files) with the citations selected through the first-pass screening and performs the full-text screening.
Different AI Screening modes: Options to select between AI Assistant or AI Screener for automated screening, or switch to manual mode for full control.
Real-Time Project Statistics: Stay informed with the project statistics showing the live decision status (included, excluded, pending, and unsure records), visible to all the project members.
Advanced screening: Filter studies based on screening decisions (Include, Exclude, Unsure), specific criteria, or reviewer comments to find exactly what you need faster.
Output Options: The final FPS and FTR results can be exported as Excel files for further analysis.
Brief Data extraction: AccuScreener provides a concise data extraction of key study characteristics alongside the full-text screening process.
