Citation chaining from a seminal paper

Start with a paper you trust - by DOI or by author - and watch Consensus crawl its citations in both directions. See what intellectual lineage it built on and which later papers carried the work forward.

Starting from Jennifer Doudna's foundational paper on CRISPR-Cas9, identify the most important papers it cites that contributed to it as a genome-editing tool, then identify the key later papers that cite it. Organize results by year and type of contribution.

Build a comparison table across studies

Compare interventions, methods, or findings side by side without manually reading every paper. Consensus runs the searches in parrallel, reads the full text of each result, pulls the values , and assembles a table you can drop into a paper or slide.

Find RCTs on CBT, IPT, and digital interventions for adolescent depression. Build a comparison table with columns: intervention type, sample size, session count, follow-up duration, and effect size on depression symptoms.

Find and fill gaps in your collections

Attach a collection from your library and ask Consensus to map what's missing. It reads through every paper, builds a research gaps matrix, and then runs new searches across the broader index to surface papers that fill those gaps.
