AutoLit

AutoLit® is Nested Knowledge's platform for performing a review. On AutoLit, you can Search for records, Screen out records that are not relevant to your research, and Tag relevant qualitative data using tags.

Additionally, other features include Meta-Analytical Extraction to extract quantitative data, and Manuscript Editorto compile your evidence. For more information and a brief overview of the AutoLit tool, explore the pages below!

When completing a review on AutoLit, you will automatically generate the interactive, data-driven visuals presented in Synthesis.

• See our Getting Started page to find a walk-through of the tasks to start a “Nest” (a Nested Knowledge term for an interactive, updatable review in AutoLit).
• Want to try out the software in an already-existing project? See our Demos, which you can edit and practice in!

By creating a review in AutoLit, you automatically create interactive, visual outputs on Synthesis. To see the connections between the AutoLit tasks and Synthesis outputs, see the figure below:

• Search: Build a structured search using Search Exploration, run automatic and updatable searches on PubMed, and import records from other search indices or external sources.
• Screen:Configure your study's Exclusion Reasons, and then include relevant studies and exclude irrelevant studies, using either single or Dual Screening.
• Tagging:Build Hierarchies of concepts of interest from underlying studies, or save work by importing your Organization's Template Hierarchies! Extraction will automatically create a Qualitative Synthesisdiagram of your work.

Optional:

• Meta-Analytical Extraction:Gather quantitative data from underlying studies (and, as necessary, perform Critical Appraisal assessments) that automatically populates your Quantitative Synthesis.
• Write: Draft your public Abstract using our Abstract Editor, full write-ups using our Manuscript Editor.

Systematic reviews are complicated! Here are some further resources to help with your study design and nest building:

• Synthesis: The process outlined above creates interactive data-visualizations in our Synthesis software.
• Artificial Intelligence in NK:Explore how our software speeds up the review process with our AI-enhanced tools every step of the way.
• Organizationsgive you capabilities like inviting all collaborators at once, overseeing projects, and providing and using Organizational Templates.
• Study Inspectoris your one-stop page in a nest to view, filter, and edit any study's content.
• Best Practices for Review:If you need guidance on how to design, perform, or draft a systematic review, see our guidance documents!
• Support: Our Ask AI ChatBot is a great first port of call for any questions surrounding how tot use the software. Please contact us if you need help with a technical issue, or have a suggestion for an improvement to our workflow our outputs!
