How Littview works.
A systematic literature review has a well-defined shape: search, screen, extract, synthesize, report. Littview follows that shape exactly — every stage below is a real part of the product, not a marketing simplification.
Start with your search results, not a blank spreadsheet.
Upload your exports directly — Littview reads BibTeX, RIS, PubMed MEDLINE, and EndNote XML, or you can bring in a Zotero library. Thousands of references import in a single batch.
In the product
- Four supported formats — BibTeX, RIS, PubMed, EndNote XML
- Zotero library import
- Batch import in the thousands
- Malformed entries flagged — never silently dropped
Find the duplicates your search strategy created.
Multi-database searches always produce overlapping results. Littview scans every reference for likely duplicates, lets you tune how strict the matching is, and shows you each group side by side before anything is merged.
In the product
- Similarity-based detection
- Adjustable threshold, 70–100%
- Auto-resolve above threshold (Pro) or manual review
- Nothing merged without a resolution
Screen against your criteria, with AI backing your judgment.
Define your criteria once, distribute papers automatically, and screen at keyboard speed. AI checks each title and abstract against your criteria — and, if you choose, your past decisions — returning include/exclude, a confidence score, and the criteria behind it. The decision stays yours.
In the product
- Reusable criteria library
- Automatic distribution across reviewers
- Keyboard-shortcut screening
- AI confidence scores that learn from your decisions
- Optional full-text escalation
Disagreements don’t get lost — they get resolved.
When reviewers disagree on a paper, it’s automatically routed to a dedicated conflict workspace showing every vote, note, and PDF highlight side by side. AI can propose a resolution with its reasoning; the final call is always a human one.
In the product
- Automatic conflict detection
- One workspace with full context
- AI-assisted resolution
- Full audit trail
Pull structured data out of PDFs, not by hand.
Build a custom extraction form — text, numbers, dropdowns, multi-select, yes/no — and let AI pre-fill it from the source PDF, field by field, with every answer linked to the exact passage it came from. Add a second-reviewer verification pass for anything that needs it.
In the product
- Custom field types
- AI pre-fill with evidence mapping
- PDF annotation while extracting
- Optional verifier role
- Reusable extraction templates
Leave with a written report, not just a spreadsheet.
The PRISMA 2020 flow diagram is computed directly from your screening and extraction records — every number in it traces back to a recorded decision. A sortable, filterable evidence table covers every included study, and AI drafts the Methods and Results sections from the same data, with numbered citations that resolve to your included studies.
In the product
- Auto-computed PRISMA 2020 diagram, DOCX export
- Evidence table with CSV export
- AI-drafted Methods & Results with citations + references list
- DOCX export of the report
