Can Cytodyme work with our existing literature review protocol?
Yes. Your existing review methodology can be used as the starting point for configuring the review in Cytodyme, including product information, selection instructions, and inclusion and exclusion criteria.
What literature sources can Cytodyme search?
Cytodyme can search connected literature sources from one workflow. Current demonstrated sources include PubMed and Google Scholar, and additional sources can be connected based on your requirements.
How does Cytodyme determine which studies meet our review criteria?
Cytodyme evaluates each result against the criteria defined in your review protocol and provides the reasoning behind the assessment. Your team reviews and confirms the final selection.
What if an abstract does not provide enough information?
You can add the full-text article and reassess the result using the additional information. Cytodyme updates the assessment and supporting reasoning for your team to review.
Can we review and change inclusion or exclusion decisions?
Yes. Your team remains responsible for the final selection. Cytodyme provides the assessment and supporting reasoning, while reviewers confirm which studies are included or excluded.
How is traceability handled?
All searches, protocol versions, screening decisions, and edits are logged and time-stamped, making it easier to defend decisions during internal review or inspection.
