What Silvi is
Silvi is a web tool for building structured evidence from scientific literature. Its review workflow supports collecting studies, screening them, extracting data, and analyzing results for systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and network meta-analyses. Reviewers can decide on studies individually or in bulk, with AI screening suggestions available. For data extraction, users can highlight text in PDFs, keeping the highlight with the extracted data, or use AI and then check and correct its output. Extracted information can be arranged in tables, used to make plots, and exported in a preferred format. Teams can assign tasks, require multiple reviewers, and blind reviewers’ decisions. Silvi lists imports from PubMed, OpenAlex, Web of Science, ERIC, Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote. It retrieves open-access papers automatically; paywalled papers must be obtained through a university library. It is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.
