How it fits together

One pipeline. Every stage. A living loop.

Ten stages from research question to published manuscript, with sign-off gates at the milestones that matter and a living-review loop wrapped around the whole pipeline. Everything on one platform — no stitched-together exports, no copy-paste between tools.

Audit trail · PRISMA 2020

Every search becomes a PRISMA flow.

The diagram updates itself as records move through the pipeline. Identification, screening, eligibility, included — with every exclusion category linked to the studies it removed. Export as Word, PDF, or a publication-ready figure with one click.

  • Counts trace to the underlying studies — every number in the diagram is a live link in the app.
  • Conforms to PRISMA 2020. Every reviewer decision is timestamped and reproducible.
  • Living reviews keep the diagram current — the version in your manuscript matches the one in the app.

Publication bias · small-study effects

Detect publication bias at a glance.

A funnel plot puts every included study on a single chart — precision on the vertical axis, effect size on the horizontal. Asymmetry is the visual fingerprint of missing small negative trials. The plot is paired with Egger's and Begg's tests so a reviewer can quote both the picture and the number.

  • HTA submissions require a publication-bias appraisal whenever ten or more studies are pooled — the funnel plot is the expected first artefact.
  • Contour-enhanced and trim-and-fill variants are one click away, with the statistical tests and a plain-language interpretation alongside the figure.
  • Every plot is regenerated when new evidence arrives — the figure in your dossier matches the live evidence base on the day you submit.
