  1. 01Recent plus 12 specialties, from MSK and Neuro to Oncology and Tech.
  2. 02Evidence type: systematic reviews, meta-analyses, RCTs, guidelines and more.
  3. 03Or skip the feed entirely and start a Review of Literature from here.

Review of Literature

Ask a question. Every relevant paper found, screened, ranked — and turned into a cited report.

Understand

Synergist

Ask what it means for practice. Follow-up answers stay grounded in the papers.

We do the searching. You work from the evidence.

The part of research that takes days — finding papers, reading abstracts, deciding what counts, writing it up with references — done for you in about a minute.

From hundreds of records to the few that matter

Most of what a search returns isn’t about your question. Review of Literature reads every candidate, keeps what is relevant, and shows you exactly what made the cut — and why.

How a review works

Follow the arrows — this is exactly what happens in the app, in order.

01

Ask in plain words

Type a topic, an idea or a clinical question — the way you would ask a senior colleague.

  1. 01“Does dry needling help chronic neck pain?” or simply “ACL rehab in athletes”.
  2. 02Tap an example if you are not sure where to start.
  3. 03If the topic is too broad, Synergist asks one quick question with tap-to-answer options — or you skip it.
02

We turn it into a research question

Your words become a structured, answerable question — the same way researchers frame a review.

  1. 01PICO: Population · Intervention · Comparison · Outcome.
  2. 02Synonyms and clinical terms, so relevant papers are not missed because they used different words.
  3. 03A sensible date window covering the last decade of evidence by default.
“Does exercise help older people with knee arthritis?”
PPopulation

older adults with knee osteoarthritis

IIntervention

CComparison

usual care / no exercise

OOutcome

We search where the evidence lives

The PhysioAI research library plus five live scholarly databases, searched together. You watch it happen, source by source.

  1. 01PubMed, Europe PMC, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and Crossref.
  2. 02Live progress with result counts from every database.
  3. 03Duplicates across databases are merged automatically.

Every paper is screened

AI reads the title and abstract of up to 90 candidate papers and checks each one against your question.

  1. 01Relevance to your question — not just keyword matches.
  2. 02Study design detected from the abstract: meta-analysis, systematic review, RCT, cohort and more.
  3. 03Sample size where the abstract reports it, and a one-line reason for every include or exclude.

“We found you 17 research papers”

You see exactly what made the cut — ranked by relevance, then strength of evidence.

  1. 01Papers screened vs. included, the year range, and how many are reviews, RCTs or open access.
  2. 02A breakdown by study design and the PICO used.
  3. 03The full ranked list — including what was excluded, and why.

Tell us your goal. Get a cited report.

Pick what you need and Synergist writes it from the included papers only — every claim cited.

  1. 01Evidence summary, literature review draft, clinical answer, evidence table or research gaps — or describe your own goal.
  2. 02Tap any citation to open that exact paper.
  3. 03Keep asking follow-up questions — answers stay grounded in the same papers.

The strongest evidence rises first.

Papers are ordered by how well they answer your question, then by the strength of their design. You see at a glance how many meta-analyses, systematic reviews and trials support an answer.

“What do you want to do with them?”

Same screened papers, six ways to use them. Run more than one on the same review.

Built to be trusted.

Grounded in real papers

Answers come only from the papers that were found and screened. If they don’t cover something, Synergist says so.

Every claim cited

Each statement carries a numbered citation. Tap it and the exact paper opens — authors, journal, DOI and abstract.

No invented numbers

Sample sizes and effect sizes come from the abstracts. Anything not reported is left blank — never guessed.

Ranked by evidence, not by recency

Meta-analyses and systematic reviews rise first, then guidelines and RCTs. A new paper never outranks a landmark trial just for being new.

Honest when evidence is thin

When few papers answer the exact question, the results say so — and closely related papers are clearly flagged.

Traceable to the source

Every paper links to its original publication. Open access papers open in full.

Advances from the latest literature.

Physiotherapy research in one feed — discover papers, inspect the evidence, keep a reading list, and ask Synergist what it means for practice.

A live research feed

Physiotherapy research in one feed, newest arrivals first. A NEW badge marks anything that arrived in the last three days.

  • Recent plus 12 specialties: MSK, Neuro, Sports, Cardio, Pulmonary, Pediatric, Geriatric, Women’s, Pain, Oncology, Tech, Research
  • Read time and evidence type on every card
  • 30+ journal marks so the feed feels like a real library

Search, then go live

Instant search across titles, abstracts, journals, keywords and authors — and one tap to search live databases when the library is thin.

  • Results merged and de-duplicated automatically
  • Every live result is added to the library for the next reader
  • Or turn any search into a full Review of Literature

Refine the evidence

Narrow the feed to the kind of evidence you actually need.

  • Published: last 30 days to last 2 years
  • Evidence type: systematic review, meta-analysis, RCT, guideline, cohort and more
  • Open access only, and filter by source

Read with orientation

Each paper opens into a clean detail view before you go to the publisher.

  • Structured abstract split into Background, Methods, Results and Conclusions
  • A short AI summary, grounded in the abstract
  • Provenance on every paper: source, DOI or PMID

Keep what matters

Save papers to a private reading list for coursework, revision or a dissertation — and come back without repeating your search.

  • One-tap save from the feed or the paper
  • Saved view with a count badge
  • Saved papers from reviews land here too
