AI Enhances Living Evidence Synthesis Efficiency
A living systematic review published in Journal of Medical Internet Research (2026) reviewed literature up to April 2, 2025 and included 24 studies. The review identified 34 AI or semi-automated tools—20 used for data extraction and risk-of-bias assessment and only one for publication updates—and reported mean recall of 96.24% and mean F1-score of 92.17%. Authors conclude AI improves efficiency though precision varied across tools.
Key Points
- 1Catalogs 34 AI/semi-automated tools across 24 studies, most commonly machine-learning classifiers.
- 2Highlights concentration of use: 20 tools for data extraction and risk-of-bias assessment.
- 3Indicates practical gains: improved efficiency with mean recall 96.24% and mean F1 92.17%.
Scoring Rationale
Strong, peer-reviewed synthesis with actionable performance metrics; limited novelty and moderate generalizability across only 24 included studies.
