Filter Searches by Population, Sample Size and Other Study Details!

We are thrilled to launch our brand new AI-enabled search filters!

The most advanced set of search filters on the market allows you to filter your Consensus searches by…

• Sample size of the study
• Population studied (human, animal, in-vitro)
• 9 different study types
• Journal prestige
• And many more!

To use our new filters, click the button with three dashes on the top-right corner of the results screen.

These new filters give users a completely novel ability to select the granular qualities of the research they want returned.

Asking a medical question and only want human, randomized controlled trials? Simply pop open the filters tab and select your desired filter combination.

Here is an example of a search with no filters and then with restrictive filters:

• Can fish oil improve mood? (No filters)
• Can fish oil improve mood (Filtered)

The data that powers these filters has been extracted from our corpus of research papers using custom-built language models. We believe they are another example of how AI can be used responsibly to empower and accelerate quality research.

Filter + Badge Definitions:

• Study Types:
  • Meta-Analysis:

  • Observational Study:
    • An experiment where the authors systematically observe a group of humans or animals, but no intervention is given.
  • Literature Reviews:
    • A review of the existing research with no explicitly laid out inclusion criteria (i.e. background or narrative reviews).
  • Case Report:
    • A sub-class of observational studies that are a report of a specific individual or individuals, usually about a medical topic.
  • Animal Trial:
    • An experiment or observational study that is conducted on non-human animals.
  • In-Vitro Trial:
    • An experiment that is conducted within a test-tube
• Study Details:
  • Controlled studies:
    • A first-hand experiment or observational study that has a control, placebo, or hold-out group.
  • Human studies:
    • A first-hand experiment or observational study that is conducted using human participants.
