Citation maps on a timeline, saved and watched

A review's citation map can be drawn as a timeline with labelled axes and a legend, and keeps the citation routes you follow. Save the map with its routes, reopen it later, and have it checked daily, weekly or monthly for new citing papers.

The concept map as a graph

The Concept map page draws a review's concepts and how they relate. Choose a concept to see its links and the papers behind it, or ask the map about it.

Projects are open to everyone

Keep cited findings and papers together, ask questions within a project, make evidence tables and journal-club slides, share a read-only view, and receive weekly new-paper alerts. Publication notices stay current across your work.

• Limits: AI drafts and weekly alerts use plan allowances or credits; PaperTrace shows the cost before they run.

How each answer was found, at a glance

Each answer opens with one line saying how many papers were retrieved, shortlisted, read and cited, with a link to its Methodology.

The exact record you asked for

Ask by PubMed ID, DOI or ClinicalTrials.gov number and the answer says whether that exact record was found and cited, or why not; a lookup never uses another paper in its place.

• 27 Oct 2026 · Every plan
• Where to find it: Fill in an example question
• Limits: Up to six records are looked up per question; any more are listed as not looked up.

Extract data from an answer's papers

An Extract data button beside Copy and Export builds a table of study details from an answer's papers, each value with the quote it came from, and says what it costs before you build it.

• 27 Oct 2026 · Every plan
• Where to find it: Quick Search › an answer › Extract data
• Limits: 3 extraction tables a day on Free; 30 on paid plans, charged in credits. Resets 00:00 UTC.

Clear messages when a source is down

When a literature source is down or has used up its daily credit, searches, paper lists, the Writer and reviews say so and when to try again, instead of reporting no results.

New reviews start again

Reviews that search only public databases no longer stop with “Organization access required”.

• 25 Oct 2026 · Every plan
• Where to find it: Reviews
• Limits: Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and conference abstracts still need an organization you belong to.

Retraction scan across the whole review

The retraction scan checks every paper in a review, shows its progress, keeps partial results with “Retry the rest”, marks retracted papers in a Retraction column in the Evidence and Study tables, and notes retracted included reports in the PRISMA diagram.

• 25 Oct 2026 · Every plan
• Where to find it: Reviews › Tools › Scan retractions
• Limits: A paper needs a PubMed ID or DOI to be checked.

Word export lists claims to verify

Word export no longer stops at citations that match no included paper: it lists them under “Claims needing verification”, and you can export a draft that keeps the marked places.

• 25 Oct 2026 · Pro, Max and Enterprise
• Where to find it: Reviews › Export › Word
• Limits: Reviews over 10 MB are too large for a Word file; export CSV instead.

Add a paper by DOI, PMCID or arXiv ID

Add papers takes a DOI, PubMed Central ID or arXiv ID as well as a PubMed ID, and a paper with no abstract or open full text can be added with its PDF.

• 25 Oct 2026 · Every plan
• Where to find it: Reviews › Add papers
• Limits: One paper at a time, with a daily lookup limit that resets at 00:00 UTC. To add a list, use Reference file.

Trial landscape questions return results

A trial landscape search that finds nothing relaxes step by step and says how it ran, named trials are listed first, and the CSV keeps the search note.

• Where to find it: Fill in an example question

Evidence table filters that reset

The Evidence table has “Clear search” and “Reset filters”, and when nothing matches it says “No papers match” and names the filters and search that apply.

• Where to find it: Reviews › Evidence

A question check before a review starts

Text pasted from an error page or program output is caught before a review starts, so no review runs on it by mistake.

Sign in again without losing work

When your sign-in can’t be confirmed, a “Sign in again” banner replaces the endless wait, and your unsaved work is kept.

• Where to find it: At the top of the page, when it’s needed
• Limits: Unsaved changes stay on this device and come back when you sign in with the same account.
