How to use AI as an Assistant?

EasySLR uses leveraging proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms to help users screen articles more effectively and efficiently. By automating certain aspects of the screening process and providing smart suggestions, the AI assistant helps users save time and effort. It streamlines the workflow by identifying potentially relevant articles and highlighting key insights, allowing users to focus on articles that need more in-depth analysis..

Follow the below steps to setup AI:
  1. Click on “Settings” from the side bar on the left.
  2. Open the “AI Copilot” section to view the latest configuration.
  3. “AI as Reviewer” option should be off.​

​
Enabling 'Show AI Suggestions' in a project allows reviewers to view the AI's recommendations on whether an article should be included or excluded during the screening process.

Enabling 'Show AI Notes' in a project allows reviewers to view the AI’s rationale or explanation behind each inclusion or exclusion suggestion during the screening process.

Enabling 'Show AI Extracted PICOS' in a project allows the AI to automatically display the Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcomes, and Study Design (PICOS) elements it has identified from each article.

  1. Configure the AI settings, specifying the criteria and parameters based on which the AI will use to provide suggestions during the screening process. This may include defining the PICOS (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Study design) criteria and other relevant factors.
  1. During the Title Abstract screening phase, the AI analyses the content of article titles and abstracts, comparing them against the defined criteria. It then generates suggestions or recommendations for each article, indicating whether it meets the specified criteria or not. 


  1. Similarly, during the Full Text screening phase, the AI examines the entire content of articles, including the full text, tables, and figures. It applies the defined criteria to assess the relevance and suitability of each article for inclusion in the project. Based on this analysis, the AI provides suggestions to users regarding the inclusion or exclusion of articles.


​
If you make any changes to the Protocol, refresh the AI under the Workflow Actions to get the suggestions based on the latest information.


​
You can also control the AI cost by selecting the appropriate option to rerun the AI as needed.


​
If you choose "All", the AI will screen all articles at that stage.

If you choose "Pending final decision", the AI will screen only the articles that are still pending to be reviewed, re-evaluating them against the defined criteria.

If you choose "Pending AI decision", the AI will screen only the articles that are pending to be processed by the AI.

If you choose "With final decision", the AI will screen only the articles for which the final decision exists.

At the Data Extraction stage, you can choose whether to rerun the AI for fields that are blank (not extracted by AI earlier) or for all fields in a study at a specific extraction stage.
