SysRev Automaton

Systematic Reviews in 48 Hours

Transform 16+ month systematic reviews into 48 hours with a multi-agent AI system following rigorous Cochrane methodology.

The Problem

Scientific systematic reviews take 16-24 months to complete. Extremely labor-intensive manual process:

  • 4,600+ articles to screen manually
  • Multiple reviewers working weeks or months
  • Repetitive manual data extraction
  • High cost and delay to validate scientific evidence
  • Inconsistencies between human reviewers
🤖

Our Solution

SysRev Automaton automates the entire systematic review process using 5 specialized agents working together, rigorously following Cochrane methodology.

From 16+ months to 48 hours, maintaining scientific quality and full PRISMA compliance.

  • 5 Specialized agents: Screening, Full-Text, Extraction, Quality, Judge
  • Triple screening: 2/3 or 3/3 consensus to avoid hallucinations
  • Automatic extraction: Structured data in JSON/YAML
  • Integrated meta-analysis: Forest plots, GRADE, heterogeneity
  • 100% reproducible: Same protocol = same result

Process Flow

1

PICO Protocol + Systematic Search

Defines research, criteria and searches 4+ databases (PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, CrossRef). Exports ~4,600 records.

2

Intelligent Deduplication

Algorithm removes duplicates. Result: ~3,500 unique articles.

3

Level 1 Screening (Triple Title)

3 independent agents analyze ONLY the title. 2/3 or 3/3 consensus. Approves ~800-1,000 titles (30-35%).

4

Level 2 Screening (Title + Abstract)

Agent analyzes title + abstract of approved items. Result: ~250-300 for full text.

5

Level 3 Screening (Full Text)

Agent reads full text. Judge resolves conflicts. Result: ~20 included studies.

6

Data Extraction + Meta-analysis

Agent extracts data. System generates meta-analysis, forest plots, GRADE assessment.

7

Complete PRISMA Report

PRISMA diagram, full report, plain language summary. Review ready for publication.
