Evidence synthesis case studies
See how Synthesa helps healthcare, medical device, MedTech, and research teams move from complex literature to structured evidence in days or weeks.
1,000,000+
abstracts screened
20,000+

average project delivery
Fast delivery, complex evidence, expert-reviewed outputs
Synthesa supports evidence synthesis projects where literature volume, timeline pressure, or analytical complexity makes traditional workflows slow or impractical.
Our case studies are anonymised to protect client confidentiality, but each example reflects real evidence synthesis work delivered by Synthesa.
Medical device evidence synthesis delivered in 2 weeks
Client type
Medical device company, medical affairs department
Challenge
The client wanted to establish whether published evidence supported the evidence-based advantage of a device category. The alternative was to consider a self-funded clinical study, but first the team needed to understand what the existing literature could already show.
The evidence was spread across many years of publications and required structured screening, extraction, and quantitative synthesis.
Synthesa delivered
- Literature screening
- Data extraction
- Outcome synthesis
- Full meta-analysis
- Structured evidence outputs for internal use
Result
The expected traditional timeline was approximately 3 months. Synthesa delivered the full project in 2 weeks.
Key takeaway
Existing literature can sometimes answer strategic evidence questions faster and more cost-effectively than commissioning new research immediately.
138,000 abstracts screened for a published Bayesian meta-analysis
Client type
Research consortium investigating cardiac remodelling in pre-eclampsia
Challenge
The consortium needed to synthesise a very large evidence base across cardiac remodelling outcomes in pre-eclampsia. The project required large-scale screening, structured extraction, and advanced statistical synthesis.
Synthesa delivered
- Screening of 138,000 abstracts
- Data extraction from 75 relevant studies
- Bayesian random-effects meta-analyses
- Bayesian meta-regressions
- Statistical outputs for publication
Result
The project was completed in 3 weeks and published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Key takeaway
Synthesa can support evidence synthesis projects at a scale that would be difficult for human-only teams to complete within practical timelines.
MedTech literature review delivered in 1 week
Client type
MedTech startup
Challenge
The client needed to understand the existing literature quickly to support internal decision-making and establish a credible evidence base.
Speed was critical, but the team still needed a structured, reliable review rather than a superficial summary.
Synthesa delivered
- Rapid literature review
- Evidence landscape summary
- Relevant study identification
- Structured review of available evidence
- Practical outputs for internal decision-making
Result
Synthesa delivered a detailed review of the literature within 1 week.
Key takeaway
For early-stage MedTech teams, rapid evidence synthesis can support better product, clinical, commercial, and fundraising decisions.
A faster path from literature to evidence
Across these projects, Synthesa helped clients:
- Reduce time from question to evidence output
- Screen large literature sets efficiently
- Identify relevant studies at scale
- Extract and structure complex evidence
- Run frequentist or Bayesian synthesis where appropriate
- Produce outputs suitable for internal, scientific, or publication use
Evaluate Synthesa with a free abstract screening pilot
For many clients, the easiest first step is a free screening pilot.
We can screen records using your search strategy and PICO criteria, either in parallel with your current team or against a completed project.
You receive:
- Screened abstract list
- Inclusion and exclusion decisions
- Comparison-ready output
- Delivery within a few days
