Systematic review and meta-analysis software

Take a review from records to manuscript

Screen studies, collect structured data, run meta-analysis and write the paper in one connected workspace.

No account needed. Your private demo workspace resets after 24 hours.

The manual review workflow is free. Pro adds AI assistance, advanced analyses and collaborative review.

Product workflow

One connected review workflow

Records, source documents, extracted data, statistical results and manuscript content remain part of the same review.

Screen and organise evidence

Import or create records, manage PDFs and possible duplicates, record human decisions and maintain the PRISMA trail.

Review sources and collect data

Read abstracts or full text beside configured outcomes, characteristics and risk-of-bias fields. Pro can assist with extraction while the reviewer remains in control.

Analyse the results

Run single-arm, pairwise or network meta-analysis, choose fixed or random effects and generate forest plots, tables and secondary analyses.

Write with results connected

Write the main manuscript and submission documents with linked values, tables, figures, references and reusable templates.

Connected evidence synthesis

More than a screening tool

Structured evidence

Records, linked reports, study groups, populations, time points, outcomes, risk-of-bias judgements and source evidence are managed as structured review data.

Built-in statistical analysis

Generate R-based single-arm, pairwise and network meta-analysis outputs, including forest plots, prediction intervals and selected secondary analyses.

Connected manuscript writing

Insert analysis values, tables, figures and smart summaries into the manuscript without manually copying results between applications.
