AI Screening is where EviSyn delivers the most dramatic time savings. The AI reads every paper’s title and abstract and evaluates it against your inclusion criteria — a task that traditionally consumes 80-120 hours for 5,000 papers.

​
Setting Up Screening

Navigate to TiAb Screening from your project dashboard. Screening setup with criteria and PICO weights

​
Configure Your Criteria

Before screening, review and customize:
​
string
What types of studies to include. Pre-filled from your project settings but editable here.Example: “RCTs or cohort studies comparing robotic vs conventional surgery for lung cancer in adult patients, reporting survival or complication outcomes”
​
string
What to exclude from the review.Example: “Case reports, editorials, non-English, pediatric patients, non-lung cancer”
​
number
default:"70"
Papers below this confidence score are auto-flagged as “Doubt” for priority human review. Default is 70%.
​
object
Adjust the relative importance of each PICO element in the overall confidence score. All weights must sum to 100%.Default: Population 25%, Intervention 25%, Comparator 25%, Outcome 25%
Click Save Criteria to lock in your settings.

Understanding AI Decisions

Each paper gets a detailed, transparent decision. Detailed AI screening results

​
What the AI Shows for Each Paper

A clear recommendation. Colored tags make it easy to scan: green = include, red = exclude, orange = doubt.
How certain the AI is about its decision. Higher = more confident. Papers below your threshold are flagged as “Doubt” for priority review.
A composite score based on how well the paper matches each PICO element, weighted by your configured weights.
A plain-language explanation of why the paper was included or excluded, referencing specific parts of the title and abstract.

​
Expanded Paper View

Click any paper to expand its full details: Expanded paper with full abstract and PICO evaluation The expanded view shows:
  • Full abstract text
  • Complete PICO evaluation — for each criterion, whether the paper met, partially met, or did not meet the requirement
  • The AI’s detailed reasoning with specific references to the abstract content

Filtering & Searching

​
Batch Operations

  • Screen All Pending — Screen all unscreened papers at once
  • Retry Selected — Re-screen specific papers with updated criteria
Re-screening a paper overwrites its previous AI decision. The original decision is still preserved in the audit log.

What’s Next?

After AI screening, proceed to Human Review where expert reviewers verify the AI’s decisions.
