Evidence Synthesis

Systematic Review Preparation, Accelerated

Evidence synthesis requires reading hundreds of papers, extracting key findings, and identifying patterns across studies. That process traditionally takes months.

LuminixAI accelerates scoping reviews, rapid evidence assessments, and systematic review preparation—giving you comprehensive literature synthesis in hours instead of months.

The Evidence Synthesis Challenge

Whether you're preparing a systematic review, conducting a scoping review, or need a rapid evidence assessment, synthesizing research literature is time-intensive and resource-demanding.

Volume Overwhelm

Thousands of potentially relevant studies exist on any research question. Reading, extracting data, and synthesizing findings manually takes months.

Time Pressure

Decision-makers need answers now. Formal systematic reviews take 12-18 months—often too slow for policy or clinical decisions.

Resource Constraints

Full systematic reviews require teams of researchers. Not every question justifies that investment, but still needs rigorous evidence synthesis.

Traditional vs. AI-Accelerated Evidence Synthesis

Phase Traditional Approach With LuminixAI
Scoping the literature 2-4 weeks of preliminary searching Hours to comprehensive overview
Identifying key themes Weeks of reading and coding Automated theme extraction
Synthesizing findings Months of analysis and writing Hours to cited synthesis
Finding evidence gaps Emerges late in the process Identified early and explicitly
Producing deliverable 12-18 months for systematic review Hours for scoping review output

Note: LuminixAI complements rather than replaces formal systematic reviews. Use it for scoping reviews, rapid evidence assessments, and preliminary literature mapping.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is evidence synthesis?

Evidence synthesis is the process of systematically collecting, analyzing, and integrating findings from multiple research studies to answer a specific question. Common methods include systematic reviews (comprehensive, protocol-driven reviews), scoping reviews (mapping available evidence), rapid reviews (time-limited assessments), and umbrella reviews (reviews of existing reviews).

How does LuminixAI help with systematic reviews?

LuminixAI accelerates the preliminary research phase of systematic reviews by synthesizing existing literature, identifying key themes and findings, and highlighting evidence gaps. It's particularly valuable for scoping the literature before defining a formal systematic review protocol, identifying what's already known to refine your research question, and conducting rapid evidence assessments when full systematic review timelines aren't feasible.

Can LuminixAI conduct a full systematic review?

No—and it's not designed to. Formal systematic reviews require specific protocols, comprehensive database searches, duplicate screening, risk of bias assessment, and other methodological requirements that ensure reproducibility. LuminixAI excels at scoping reviews, rapid evidence assessments, and preliminary literature synthesis where those formal requirements aren't necessary or feasible.

What's the difference between scoping reviews and systematic reviews?

Systematic reviews follow strict protocols to answer specific research questions, with comprehensive literature searches, standardized quality assessments, and often quantitative synthesis (meta-analysis). Scoping reviews map the available evidence on a topic, identifying key concepts, evidence gaps, and types of available research. Scoping reviews are typically broader, faster, and used to inform future research or systematic review protocols. LuminixAI is particularly well-suited for scoping review work.

How can AI accelerate the review process?

AI can rapidly synthesize findings across multiple sources, identify patterns and themes, extract key data points, and highlight areas of consensus or disagreement—tasks that traditionally require weeks of manual reading and coding. LuminixAI provides this synthesis in hours, with full citations so you can verify and build on the findings. It's especially valuable for the scoping phase of any evidence synthesis project.

What types of evidence synthesis is LuminixAI best for?

LuminixAI is ideal for: scoping reviews to map evidence on a topic, rapid evidence assessments when decisions can't wait for full systematic reviews, preliminary literature mapping before formal systematic review, umbrella reviews synthesizing existing reviews, policy briefs requiring evidence synthesis, and grant proposal background research. For formal systematic reviews with publication or regulatory requirements, use established protocols and databases alongside LuminixAI for scoping.
