From biomedical questions
to cited literature review drafts
Ask a research question. LitSynth helps retrieve and screen papers, then draft a literature review from your selected evidence. Inspect available source passages and citation support before export; coverage and full-text access vary, and every draft needs human review.

Why LitSynth
Chat AI is fast. Its citations aren't reliable.
A literature review is only as good as its references. Here is how LitSynth compares with the two ways researchers usually do it.
Where citations come from
Question → first draft
Search & screening record
Checking each claim
Deliverable
LitSynth produces a draft for expert review. It does not replace your academic judgement.
From question to draft
How a review gets made
Every run is a visible pipeline — what it searched, what it kept, and where each claim came from.

This is what a LitSynth draft looks like
Illustrative excerpt and review workflow. The preview is not a complete report or a measured accuracy result.
3. GLP-1 receptor agonists and weight outcomes
The STEP 1 and STEP 5 studies report weight outcomes for semaglutide in adults with overweight or obesity[1][2]. Compare each study’s population, treatment, follow-up and results before using it to support a specific claim.
When drafting, separate findings from your interpretation and identify statements that need closer source inspection.

Systematic Review Beta is PRISMA-lite: not full PRISMA 2020, no dual independent screening, no meta-analysis, no RoB 2 or GRADE. Every draft needs human review.

Frequently Asked Questions
LitSynth expands your research question into a retrieval strategy, finds relevant papers, screens them for fit, and drafts a structured literature review. The workflow keeps the search boundary, included papers, evidence excerpts, and citations visible so you can verify and edit the draft.
LitSynth searches large academic indexes and scholarly metadata sources, then ranks papers around your specific question. Plan limits define how many papers can be retrieved and reviewed in a single workflow, from a small demo set on Free to deeper searches on Pro.
Yes. Draft citations are tied back to source papers and evidence excerpts where possible. You should still review the cited evidence before submitting or publishing, but the product is designed so claims can be audited instead of appearing as unsupported AI text.
One complete review includes a research question, paper retrieval, relevance screening, a selected evidence set, and a drafted review with citations. Each plan sets limits for how many papers can be searched and included in that draft.
Literature Review helps explore a topic, select evidence and draft a review. Systematic Review Beta adds a PRISMA-lite workflow for protocols, title/abstract screening, evidence extraction and audit records. It does not replace independent dual screening or full-text review, provide meta-analysis, or claim full PRISMA 2020 compliance. Both modes require human review; plan details specify access to Beta.
What is the difference between Literature Review and Systematic Review Beta?Trial Pack, Chinese Month Card, and monthly credits expire after 30 days. A new standard task costs 26 credits (1 search + 25 generation); Systematic Review Beta generation costs 100 credits, with search charged separately. New searches and regenerations are charged separately; automatic repair is part of the same generation.
Paid plans support saved projects and export to Markdown, Word, and PDF. Free is intended for trying the workflow and does not include final export.
