How a Prizmatic review works.
Every review moves through the same seven stages, from the first database query to the finished synthesis, and every decision along the way is logged. To see the stages run, open the live demo.
Retrieve
Several queries per database, merged and deduplicated into one pool.
PubMed · Scopus · Europe PMC · Semantic Scholar · Google Scholar
Classify and fork
Trials and observational studies split into separate tracks, each judged with its own instruments.
Screen the literature
Titles, abstracts, and full text screened individually for inclusion and exclusion. Every exclusion keeps its reason for the PRISMA flow diagram.
Titles · Abstracts · Full text
Fetch and parse full text
Full articles are retrieved and parsed. Anything unreachable is reported, never silently dropped.
Assess risk of bias
RoB 2 for trials, ROBINS-I for observational studies. Every judgment carries its supporting quotes.
Extract
One row per finding, and each figure keeps the sentence it came from.
Synthesise
An evidence grid and a written synthesis, with knowledge gaps computed from the empty cells.
See the pipeline run.
