AI Powered Smart Tags, Filters & Visualisation in EasySLR

AI Smart Tags automatically classify articles using AI-generated labels based on key study characteristics, including:
  • Population
  • Intervention
  • Outcome
  • Country
  • Study Design
  • Evidence Level

These structured tags allow you to quickly filter, analyse, and visualise patterns across your project — without manual tagging.

Enabling AI Smart Tags
Before using Smart Tag filters and visualisation, ensure the feature is enabled.

How to Enable AI Smart Tags
  1. Go to Project Settings
  2. Navigate to AI Copilot
  3. Enable Show AI Smart Tags
  4. Toggle on: “Show AI smart tags when available while reviewing articles”
Once enabled, Smart Tags will appear during article review and across filtering and visualisation sections.

Smart Tags Filters

Smart Tag filters allow you to refine your article list using AI-generated classifications. This helps you quickly identify specific subsets of studies for prioritisation and analysis.

Where to Find Smart Tag Filters
Navigate to:
Project Articles → Filters Section

Available Smart Tag filters include:
  • Population (AI)
  • Intervention (AI)
  • Outcome (AI)
  • Country (AI)
  • Study Design (AI)
  • Evidence Level (AI)


How to Use Smart Tag Filters
  1. Open Project Articles.
  2. Select a Smart Tag filter (e.g., Population (AI)).
  3. Choose one or more values (e.g., Adults, Non-small-cell lung cancer).
  4. Apply the filter to refine your article list.

You can combine multiple Smart Tag filters (e.g., Intervention + Outcome + Evidence Level) for precise targeting.


Best Practices for Smart Tag Filtering
  • Combine multiple AI filters for focused analysis.
  • Use Evidence Level (AI) to prioritise higher-quality studies.
  • Pair Smart Tags with manual filters (Stage, Reviewer, Excluded) for refined screening.
  • Always review filtered articles before making final decisions.

Smart Tags Visualisation

The Smart Tags Visualisation feature enables interactive exploration of relationships between AI-generated tags through charts and cross-tabulations.

It helps identify:
  • Research trends
  • Evidence distribution
  • Intervention–Outcome relationships
  • Population-specific insights
  • Evidence gaps

Where to Access Visualisation. Navigate to>Visualization

How to Create a Smart Tags Visualisation

Step 1: Select Dimensions
Choose:
  • X-Axis (Columns) – e.g., Intervention
  • Y-Axis (Rows) – e.g., Outcome
  • Group By (Optional) – e.g., Population

Step 2: Apply Filters (Optional)
Refine your dataset using filters such as:
  • Stage
  • Population (AI)
  • Intervention (AI)
  • Outcome (AI)
  • Country (AI)
  • Study Design (AI)
  • Evidence Level (AI)

Step 3: Explore the Output
Visualisation formats include:
  • Evidence Level View – Color-coded by High / Moderate / Low
  • Heatmap View – Displays article distribution intensity
  • Bubble View – Bubble size represents article count

Click on any cell to:
  • View the list of associated articles
  • Inspect study details
  • Review abstracts

Example Use Cases
  • Identify which interventions most frequently report specific outcomes
  • Compare outcome distribution across populations
  • Assess evidence level trends across interventions
  • Detect under-researched areas
  • Prepare structured evidence maps

Benefits of Smart Tags & Visualisation
  • Faster evidence mapping
  • AI-powered structured categorisation
  • Reduced manual tagging effort
  • Interactive exploration of study relationships
  • Improved reporting and insight generation
  • Stronger strategic decision-making

Important Note on AI Usage
AI Smart Tags are generated using large language models (LLMs). While they significantly improve efficiency, they may occasionally produce incomplete or incorrect classifications.

Users should:
  • Review AI-generated tags before relying on them
  • Validate classifications against study content
  • Ensure final inclusion/exclusion and synthesis decisions are made by human reviewers

Troubleshooting
Smart Tags Not Visible?
  • Ensure AI Copilot → Show AI Smart Tags is enabled.
