From a folder of papers to a structured literature review
Extract research questions, methods, populations, sample sizes, interventions, outcomes, findings, limitations and dates.
Group studies by theme or school of thought.
Compare consensus, conflicting results and methodological differences.
Identify limitations and unanswered questions.
Synthesis, not a stack of summaries
The skill groups studies by theme, approach, outcome or school of thought and explains what the literature collectively shows.
Handle mixed evidence carefully
Continua distinguishes consensus from disagreement, gives greater weight to stronger evidence where appropriate, and does not claim consensus when findings are mixed.
Make limitations visible
Recurring issues such as small samples, selection bias, weak controls, inconsistent definitions, limited follow-up, generalizability or publication bias are surfaced when supported by the papers.
Frequently asked questions
