Description
Ouzzani, Hammady, Fedorowicz, and their co-authors presented Rayyan in 2016, a web and mobile app for systematic reviews. A systematic review can summarize the effects found in many randomized trials and give numerical answers on whether a treatment works. Screening search results to find the right trials is slow work.
Rayyan was built to speed up that filtering step. Reviewers can screen titles and abstracts on the web or a phone, alone or as a team. No single earlier method met the priority needs of reviewers, the authors note. Faster screening frees time for the analysis and writing that give a review its value.
