iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My guess is the slightly lower counts are just a lagged S2 snapshot. The OpenAlex column is the fun part though, 2 vs 68 on one paper. Doesn’t matter much for discovery, but for citation chasing in a review you’d want to say which index you used.

Same pattern here. A vague question just gets you a fast, vague review, whether people or AI do the screening. Teams that pilot their extraction form on a few papers first tend to find the holes in their question early, from what we’ve seen. Cheap step too.

Agree, and from the outside it still looks like a long literature search. The real skill is in screening and appraisal, the judgment calls nobody sees in the final paper.

For what it's worth, the hesitation we hear about isn't AI itself, it's tools that don't show how they decided. Agreement stats against a human reviewer and a log of every exclusion seem to do more for adoption than any accuracy claim.

if the order past a point is basically work ID, recall@N on the plain OQL run isn't really testing ranking. So why does proximity jump it to 93.9%? Dropping 1.5k records alone doesn't seem enough. Does proximity switch on relevance scoring?

The surprising part for me isn't the $1.46, it's the one-question setup beating the five-question one. Simpler prompt, better recall. Humans still own the borderline calls though.

Full disclosure, we build SR software that uses AI. Some steps do get faster: dedup, a first screening pass you then check against a human-screened sample, the PRISMA counts. That's real time saved....

Littview @littview.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

But the protocol, the search strategy, inclusion calls, risk of bias, the synthesis, that's where the time goes and where the judgment is. A weekend review has to have cut some of that. I'd want to know which parts.

Littview @littview.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Gusenbauer & Haddaway, right? Good one to send anyone planning to run their review off Google Scholar alone. Only about half of the 28 held up as principal search systems, and GS wasn't one of them.

Littview @littview.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Worth adding: finding and extracting is one part. A systematic review also needs dual screening, conflict resolution and PRISMA counts you can defend. We're building Littview to bring AI into that part too, with humans making the calls (full disclosure, it's ours). Nice to see the space growing.

Littview @littview.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Congrats on v4! As people building screening tools, RAISE 2 is the part we keep going back to. Having a clear standard for how to test and report these tools makes our job a lot easier. Will dig into the new version.

Littview @littview.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I think excluding outright would throw away too much, but the gap is real. Lundh's 2017 Cochrane review found industry-sponsored drug and device trials had more favourable results, and standard risk of bias assessment didn't explain the difference. Cochrane is piloting a tool for it, TACIT.

LLMs should do the mechanical work, humans make the judgement call. Final decision should always be human.

Their section 5 checklist should just become a required box to tick before submission. Would save reviewers so much guessing.
