The problem it solves
Writing a systematic review requires consistency between protocol, search, screening, extraction, critical appraisal, synthesis and limitations. If each part is written in isolation, contradictions increase and methodological traceability is lost.
What Vetra does
- Helps prepare drafts of methodological sections based on recorded decisions.
- Generates support text for results, tables, figures and annexes from verified data.
- Flags pending information before a manuscript section is closed.
- Supports material compatible with PRISMA reporting and transparency annexes about AI use.
What the researcher reviews
The researcher reviews style, accuracy, interpretation, citations, limitations and conclusions. The AI can help draft or rephrase, but it does not receive authorship or responsibility for the final content.
What is recorded
- Written section, data source used and draft version.
- Changes made by the researcher.
- AI use declared when it affects methodological content, results, implications or summaries.
- Limitations and controls applied before publishing or sharing the document.
Limits
RAISE recommends declaring AI use when it suggests judgments, extracts data, synthesises evidence or drafts relevant content. Vetra declares each decision as made by AI, by a human or jointly for each section of the review.
