    @BrianKingNeo @PedsPharmD @Floralquinolone @CochraneNeonate The technology is already here, and several iterations have been used for various stages of the SR. Not sure if AI has yet been used to conduct the actual MA. This is a nice review of what's already out there https://t.co/Dy0tTZEKLi

Abstract Synopsis

  • The exponential growth of published research makes it difficult to conduct thorough and timely reviews, leading to increased interest in AI tools to automate and improve the process.
  • The review analyzed 12 studies that used various AI methods, mainly in screening stages, but also in data extraction and bias assessment, revealing mixed results and highlighting the need for human validation.
  • While AI platforms show promise in enhancing evidence synthesis, their benefits are still uncertain and depend heavily on self-reporting, requiring further research to determine their overall effectiveness and reliability.
