The premise
AI can convert screening logs into a PRISMA narrative that explains exclusions at each stage with reasons traceable to the protocol.
What AI does well here
- Tabulate inclusions and exclusions stage by stage with reason codes
- Cross-reference reasons to the prospective protocol
- Draft a transparent statement on records lost or unrecoverable
What AI cannot do
- Decide which records to exclude
- Override a reviewer disagreement
- Substitute for the second reviewer's screen
