The fastest way to write a systematic review protocol
Starting from a blank Word document is the slowest path. Meta-analysis360 begins with your research question, runs structured analysis, and drafts protocol sections you refine: eligibility, outcomes, and search databases included.
Export PROSPERO-style markdown or DOCX when ready. You keep full editorial control; the AI removes the "staring at Section 3" problem.
- Planning wizard captures PICO and scope before protocol text.
- Eligibility criteria drafted from your question and inclusion rules.
- Search strategy tab generates amendable PubMed strings.
Automating the PRISMA flow diagram from day one
PRISMA 2020 expects a flow diagram showing records identified, deduplicated, screened, and included. When you plan and screen in one workspace, counts feed forward automatically: no spreadsheet reconciliation at the end.
Searching for a "PRISMA flow diagram generator"? The win is tracking screening decisions from import through full-text so your diagram numbers stay audit-ready.
Why planning before import saves weeks
Teams that import 8,000 references before locking eligibility often re-screen after protocol changes. Drafting protocol and search strategy first narrows the library and documents decisions reviewers can follow.
Meta-analysis360 connects Planning → Protocol → Search strategy → Screening in one pipeline so your PROSPERO registration and your actual workflow match.

Common questions
Does Meta-analysis360 submit to PROSPERO automatically?
No. You export protocol text and register on PROSPERO yourself. The tool aligns headings and content with common PROSPERO fields to speed up drafting.
Can I edit every section the AI drafts?
Yes. All protocol and search text is editable. Regenerate individual sections without losing your manual edits elsewhere.
Is this a replacement for librarian search design?
For complex reviews, involve an information specialist. Meta-analysis360 gives you a strong first draft and a place to iterate. This is especially helpful for student and early-career teams without embedded library support.
