Navigating the Complex Landscape of Evidence Synthesis – Webinar Recap

On the 26th of March 2025, Evidence Prime hosted a webinar, Navigating the Complex Landscape of Evidence Synthesis, featuring Dr. Danielle Pollock and Artur Nowak. The session explored the diverse types of evidence synthesis, common challenges in research reliability, and the role of AI in improving review processes.

Key Takeaways from Dr. Danielle Pollock's Presentation

Dr. Danielle Pollock provided an overview of evidence synthesis in healthcare and the importance of trustworthy research. She highlighted the overabundance of review types and the pressing need for higher-quality research. With multiple types of reviews available, such as systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and meta-analyses, understanding their purpose, questions, and protocols is crucial to inform and have impactful outcomes.

AI's Role in Evidence Synthesis – Insights from Artur Nowak

Artur Nowak looked at the role of AI in evidence synthesis, discussing how AI-driven tools, such as Gemini's "deep research" mode and other systems, enable the daily processing of up to 80 reviews. These technologies assist authors in refining research protocols, improving study selection, and enhancing data extraction. By reducing human error and increasing efficiency, AI helps how researchers approach large amounts of evidence.

Looking Ahead

This webinar emphasized the importance of selecting the proper review methodology and leveraging AI to enhance the evidence synthesis process. Whether you are a researcher, clinician, policymaker, or patient advocate, staying informed about evolving methodologies is fundamental to making evidence-based decisions.
