Our Take
Elicit can help researchers move from a research question to a more organized set of papers and evidence. Its paper discovery and extraction workflows are useful for screening literature, comparing study characteristics, and drafting an initial evidence table. It can save time on repetitive information gathering, particularly when a project involves many abstracts or similar study-design details.
Extracted fields and AI-generated summaries can be incomplete or wrong, especially when papers use different terminology or report results in complex tables. Treat outputs as a first-pass assistant: inspect the source passages, confirm sample sizes and outcomes, and record inclusion decisions yourself. Elicit can support a literature review, but it does not automatically make a search comprehensive or replace a transparent, reproducible review protocol.
