System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

The Lit Synthesizer reduces the time and cognitive load of finding, reading, and synthesising biomedical literature by automating search, summarisation, citation mapping, and draft generation so researchers and clinicians can produce reproducible review text quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PubMed and preprint search: Query NCBI Entrez and bioRxiv/medRxiv to retrieve relevant abstracts and metadata.
  • LLM summarisation: Produce concise, structured summaries of abstracts and full texts suitable for inclusion in reviews.
  • Citation graphing and gap analysis: Build citation relationship maps and highlight understudied topics for research planning.
  • Use Case: Quickly discover the most influential recent papers on a gene-editing technique, summarise their findings, map who cites whom, and draft a literature review paragraph with inline citations.

Quick Start

Find the 10 most cited CRISPR papers on sickle cell disease since 2024 and summarise their key findings into a structured literature review paragraph with citations.
