*In collaboration with
Rayyan’s Goal
Help systematic review authors produce high quality reviews in a quick, easy, and intuitive fashion. Authors create reviews, analyze them, collaborate on them, maintain them over time, and get suggestions for article inclusion & exclusion.
Rayyan’s Key Features• Web accessible

• Multi-facet navigation and filtering– Rayyan extracts and computes
facets, e.g., authors, MeSH– Authors filter on facets, user-
labels, and search keywords
• Similarity graph navigation– Similar entries are clustered– Fully tunable similarity thresholds
• Embedded prediction of Exclude/Include– Authors label few examples– Rayyan learns and presents
predictions through a 5-star rating system
