Silvi
What Silvi is
Silvi is a web-based tool for turning scientific literature into structured, transparent evidence. It supports review workflows for collecting studies, screening them, extracting data and analyzing results, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses and network meta-analyses. Users can make study inclusion decisions individually or in bulk, with AI screening suggestions available. For data extraction, reviewers can highlight PDF text or use AI extraction, then check and correct extracted information. Silvi retains PDF highlights alongside the data.
Extracted information can be arranged in tables, used to create plots and exported in a preferred format. Team tools include task assignment, multiple-reviewer requirements and blinding reviewers’ decisions. Imports are listed for PubMed, OpenAlex, Web of Science, ERIC, Zotero, Mendeley and EndNote. Open-access papers can be retrieved automatically; users need to obtain paywalled papers through a university library. Silvi offers a free Basic plan with unlimited reviews and paid plans from €19/mo. It is based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
