Welcome to the world of CLARA - your intelligent research assistant designed to streamline the systematic literature review (SLR) process. Researchers, academics, and professionals can now enjoy a seamless and efficient experience when conducting SLRs, thanks to CLARA's advanced natural language processing (NLP) capabilities. Say goodbye to tedious manual tasks and embrace the power of automation, as CLARA navigates you through the complex world of academic literature.
CLARA's primary function is to simplify the process of filtering down a vast pool of research results to the most relevant ones. Leveraging a state-of-the-art NLP model, CLARA efficiently extracts PICOS criteria (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome, and Study type) to help you make informed decisions on whether to include or exclude a study. This means you can focus on what truly matters - analyzing and synthesizing the findings of your SLR.
Understanding the nuances of each study is essential for a comprehensive review. CLARA goes beyond the basics and delves into the details of each research paper by detecting crucial study attributes such as population size and study duration. This powerful feature ensures you have all the necessary information at your fingertips.
To aid researchers in evaluating the importance of a study within the scientific community, CLARA provides valuable citation metrics and author information. The software displays the number of incoming citations and a chart illustrating incoming citations per year, offering a clear overview of a study's impact and relevance.
In addition, CLARA presents detailed information about the authors involved in the study, with special emphasis on first and last authors. This includes crucial information such as the authors' current institute, the number of works they have published, and their total incoming citations. By providing these comprehensive insights, CLARA empowers researchers to make informed decisions when evaluating the relevance and credibility of studies for their systematic literature reviews.
CLARA's Autoindex feature automatically generates a list of keywords across all documents, providing a useful overview of the literature. These keywords cover a wide range of topics, such as drugs, medical conditions, diseases, and more, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the research landscape.
What distinguishes CLARA's Autoindex from a regular keyword search is its application of advanced NLP models. These models enable the detection of keywords based on context, ensuring that synonyms, misspellings, and even terms in other languages are all mapped to the appropriate keywords. This context-driven approach allows for a more precise and in-depth understanding of the literature
CLARA aims to assist researchers in efficiently collecting the key findings of a study. By utilizing advanced AI technology, CLARA automatically detects study arms from plain text and links outcomes and measurements to the appropriate study arms. This feature allows users to access essential information without having to spend excessive time deciphering complex research papers.
To maintain accuracy, CLARA enables users to review and confirm or reject the detected outcomes. This collaborative approach ensures that the extracted information is both precise and relevant, further supporting your systematic literature review process. With CLARA, researchers can rely on having a thorough and dependable understanding of each study's findings, allowing them to concentrate on their research goals.
CLARA leverages state-of-the-art AI models to extract key terms from study abstracts and generate concise summaries. By identifying the most important concepts and themes within a study, CLARA can unravel complex sentences and rewrite them into easily digestible "executive" summaries. This feature helps researchers quickly grasp the core ideas and findings of a study, streamlining the review process and facilitating more efficient decision-making during systematic literature reviews.
CLARA's robust search capabilities are built upon a cutting-edge technology known as Language Agnostic Search (LASER). LASER enables CLARA to map your search query to an internal ontology, ensuring that you receive the most accurate results even if you misspell a word, search in a different language, or use a synonym. Currently integrated with PubMed, LASER revolutionizes the way you search for academic literature, transcending language barriers and making your search experience more efficient and effective. Stay tuned as we continue to expand LASER's compatibility with more sources, further enhancing your systematic literature review process.
The PICO Grouper is a valuable feature of CLARA that capitalizes on the automatic extraction of PICOS criteria to enable rapid filtering of search results. By providing an intuitive interface, researchers can effortlessly filter studies based on the specific Population, Intervention, and Outcome combination relevant to their systematic literature review. With just a few clicks, you can streamline your search process and focus on the most pertinent studies, saving both time and effort. The PICO Grouper ensures that you have the most relevant information at your disposal, supporting you in conducting a comprehensive and efficient review of the literature.
CLARA offers a range of export and documentation options to facilitate a smooth literature review experience. Users can effortlessly export both their included and excluded literature, ensuring all pertinent information is readily available for subsequent analysis or reporting. Moreover, validated outcomes can be exported with ease, streamlining the process of sharing and presenting essential findings. CLARA also offers users a graphical representation of their review process, enhancing the visualization, comprehension, and communication of the progress among colleagues and stakeholders.
