Details

ExaCT is an automated system that helps medical researchers and clinicians find and extract key information about randomized controlled trials from published journal articles. It is designed to speed up the labour-intensive process of compiling evidence for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The system has been retired and no longer processes new material. Users were informed that AI was involved in the extraction process.
