The Review Road

Drive through all eleven stops of a systematic review, from protocol to published, without hitting a single duplicate.

Keyboard, touch or gamepad. Sound stays off until you turn it on.

How to play

Up and down (or W and S) change lanes. On a phone, swipe up or down, or tap above or below the car. P pauses.

A runner on the road every review on IAMB.AI travels. Grab the papers that belong in each stage, swerve around duplicates and off-topic ones, and learn what each stop does before you reach it.

What you will learn

  • The eleven stages of a PRISMA 2020 review, in order, and what each one is for.
  • Why duplicates are merged before screening, and how they are found (DOI, PMID, titles).
  • What the AI does at each stage on IAMB.AI, and what people decide.
