Literature reviews & evidence matrices

Organize literature around a research question, compare populations, methods, findings, and limitations, and link each conclusion to specific papers.

What to prepare

Inputs

Research question, search scope, paper PDFs or full-text links, and comparison dimensions.

What to produce

Deliverables

A sourced evidence matrix, thematic review, disagreements, and research gaps.

Step-by-step workflow

Break the work into verifiable stages, then choose models and supporting tools.

  1. 01

    Define the search scope

    Specify populations, topics, dates, and inclusion criteria. Search academic databases and record the queries.

  2. 02

    Extract evidence from papers

    Use document understanding to read text, charts, and tables. Standardize study design, samples, methods, and results.

  3. 03

    Compare across papers

    Compare supporting and conflicting evidence. Add vector retrieval for larger collections while retaining pages and excerpts.

  4. 04

    Verify and write the review

    Recheck citations, samples, and numerical results. Mark evidence gaps when full text is unavailable.

Required model capabilities

Combine models for the actual stages. The directory includes candidates matching one or more of these capabilities.

Selection & delivery checks

  • Compare long-document understanding, table recognition, and citation location.
  • Distinguish original findings from speculation; abstracts are not substitutes for full papers.
  • Verify titles, authors, years, and DOIs against original sources.
