The Bee-way to Evidence Synthesis

Become empowered with a manual and extremely rigorous workflow.

1. Protocol & Import

2. Screening

3. Data Extraction

4. Synthesis & Analysis

5. Reporting & Export

Project Creation & Reference Import

Establish a clnew project by effortlessly import references. Our platform supports major databases (PubMed via direct integration) and common reference file formats (RIS, nbib, EndNote, CSV, XLSX). Advanced deduplication cleans your dataset at the outset.

  • Direct PubMed integration
  • Supports RIS, EndNote (XML, ENW), CSV, XLSX
  • Advanced automated deduplication
  • Intuitive protocol definition tools

Title, Abstract & Full-Text Screening

Utilize efficient screening tools with features for multiple reviewers and conflict resolution. Simultaneously, manage the retrieval and screening of full-text PDFs using automatic web search and manual uploads.

  • Computer- and smartphone-compatible features
  • Easy online and offline screening process
  • Automated Gold OA PDF downloads (Unpaywall)
  • Advanced conflict resolution tools

Collaborative Data Extraction

Design custom data extraction forms tailored to your research questions. Invite team members to extract data simultaneously, with built-in versioning and conflict resolution tools to ensure accuracy and consistency across your team.

  • Customizable extraction forms
  • Real-time collaborative extraction
  • Version control for extracted data
  • Detailed conflict resolution dashboard

Data Synthesis & Meta-Analysis

Seamlessly push extracted data to a live dataset for analysis. Calculate various effect sizes, perform fixed and random-effects meta-analyses, explore heterogeneity, and conduct moderator analyses. Generate publication-quality forest plots directly within the platform.

  • Live connection to extracted data
  • Wide range of effect size calculations (SMD, OR, RR, etc.)
  • Multiple meta-analytic estimators (DL, REML, etc.)
  • Automated, customizable forest plots

Reporting & Data Export

Generate PRISMA flow diagrams automatically based on your project's progress. Export your complete dataset, analysis results, and plots in various formats (CSV, Excel, high-resolution images) to easily incorporate them into your manuscript or report. Maintain transparency with detailed audit trails.

  • Automatic PRISMA diagram generation
  • Export data to CSV, Excel, and more
  • High-resolution plot exports (SVG, PNG)
  • Comprehensive audit trails for reproducibility

What's the buzz about evidenceBee?

The Evidence Bee platform is an essential one-stop shop for any meta-analysis.
AC

Dr. Alisha C.

Epidemiologist

This is the only app that properly manages data extraction and data comparisons between multiple reviewers. This is life saving in my large projects.
BM

Prof. Ben M.

Clinical Trials Unit

As a student, the affordability and features of evidenceBee are unmatched. It helped me produce high-quality reviews for my thesis.
SK

Sarah K.

PhD Candidate

The cutting-edge effect size computation and meta-analytic models make this tool very useful in my projects, even when not associated to a systematic review.
