The problem Systematic reviews and related evidence synthesis products (eg, rapid reviews, evidence maps and scoping reviews) are foundational to evidencebased medicine, informing all levels of healthcare, from patient–provider decisions to national policymaking. However, an ongoing challenge to systematic reviews is the exponential growth in the number of journal articles and other related reports of medical research (eg, clinical trial records, conference abstracts and preprint articles). Since 2017, there have been over a million new records added annually to PubMed alone. Thus, there is a compelling need to streamline the information retrieval process for systematic reviews.
