MDR literature review software
Run a defensible, PRISMA-grade literature review for your Clinical Evaluation Report — in minutes, not weeks. Every citation is verified against Crossref, with a reproducible search protocol you can re-run for PMCF.
Built in Switzerland · Crossref-verified citations · 0 fabricated DOIs in our public benchmark
EU MDR (and MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4) require a systematic, reproducible, fully documented literature search inside every Clinical Evaluation Report. Done by hand or outsourced to consultants, that means weeks of work and high cost. AutoSearch automates the search, screening and PRISMA documentation while keeping it audit-ready — so a regulatory specialist produces a defensible review in an afternoon.
Built for regulatory-grade evidence
AutoSearch queries the major scientific databases in parallel — OpenAlex (250M+ works), Crossref (140M+ DOI), PubMed, Semantic Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov — then scores and screens every candidate with a recorded keep/discard decision. You get a PRISMA 2020 flow diagram, an evidence matrix, inline citations, a BibTeX file and an exportable screening log (CSV) for the technical documentation.
Citations you can defend in an audit
Generalist AI tools hallucinate 3–18% of citations. AutoSearch verifies every DOI live against Crossref — our published benchmark shows 0 fabricated DOIs across hundreds of references. Reviewers see real, resolvable sources, not plausible-looking inventions.
Reproducible for PMCF and updates
MDR literature review is not one-and-done: PMS and PMCF require the same search re-run on a fixed cadence. AutoSearch stores the exact search protocol so you re-execute it every 6 or 12 months and get a delta — same method, new evidence, no manual rebuild.
| Requirement | How AutoSearch satisfies it |
|---|---|
| Defined search question (PICO) | Structured objective captured before the run; documented in the report. |
| Two or more scientific databases | Parallel search across OpenAlex, Crossref, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov. |
| Documented inclusion/exclusion criteria | Every candidate scored with a recorded keep/discard reason; exportable screening log. |
| PRISMA flow & traceability | PRISMA 2020 flow diagram and evidence matrix generated automatically. |
| Reproducibility | Exact query protocol stored and re-runnable for PMCF cadence. |
| Verifiable sources | Every DOI live-checked against Crossref; 0 fabricated in our benchmark. |
Frequently asked questions
Is AutoSearch compliant with EU MDR literature review requirements?
AutoSearch produces the artifacts MDR and MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4 expect — a documented search protocol, multi-database search, recorded screening decisions, a PRISMA 2020 flow and an evidence matrix. The regulatory responsibility for the CER remains with you; AutoSearch makes the literature review systematic, reproducible and audit-ready.
Which databases does it search?
OpenAlex, Crossref, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, ClinicalTrials.gov, DBLP and DOAJ, queried in parallel.
Does it really verify citations?
Yes. Every DOI is checked live against Crossref. Our public benchmark reports 0 fabricated DOIs across hundreds of references — a measured number, not a claim.
Can I re-run the same search for PMCF?
Yes. The exact search protocol is stored, so you can re-execute it on your PMCF cadence and review only what is new.
How much does it cost?
From CHF 29/month (Researcher, 300 credits) or one-time credit top-ups. A standard review costs about 8 credits, and new accounts get 50 free starter credits — a fraction of consultant or enterprise-tool pricing.
