EviSynth is a platform for evidence synthesis and systematic reviews, with tools for screening studies, assessing risk of bias, and collaborating with a team. Its language model reviews abstracts against PICO criteria and suggests whether to include or exclude each one. Risk-of-bias tools support RoB 2, ROBINS-I, and custom checklists. Teams can invite collaborators, resolve screening conflicts, and see who screened each item and when. An AI Insights tab offers summaries, keyword extraction, and bias hints. References can be imported in EndNote XML or PubMed NBIB formats, and the screening interface is designed for touch-screen use on mobile. EviSynth is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The maker describes it as open source and free for academic use, with unlimited collaborators and no trials or subscriptions; no credit card is required to start. It is intended for researchers, including students and faculty working on rapid or full systematic reviews. The listed academic access plan is 0.00 USD per free.
