AI Enhances Living Evidence Synthesis Efficiency

A living systematic review published in Journal of Medical Internet Research (2026) reviewed literature up to April 2, 2025 and included 24 studies. The review identified 34 AI or semi-automated tools—20 used for data extraction and risk-of-bias assessment and only one for publication updates—and reported mean recall of 96.24% and mean F1-score of 92.17%. Authors conclude AI improves efficiency though precision varied across tools.
