Our Take
Abstrackr helps teams screen titles and abstracts for systematic reviews, using reviewer decisions to prioritize records that may be relevant. It can make a large screening workload more manageable and is most useful when paired with a clearly defined research question and inclusion criteria.
Prioritization is not proof that a record is irrelevant, and automated suggestions can reflect patterns in the initial decisions. Keep the protocol explicit, check uncertain records carefully, and follow the review team’s rules for duplicate screening and resolving disagreements.
