Evidence Synthesis in Transition: Lessons from 2025 and the Road to 2026

Webinar on Evidence Synthesis in Transition: Lessons from 2025 and the Road to 2026

Tuesday, December 16 at 11am ET

Join leading evidence-based practitioners to examine how the pressures of 2025 and the evolution of AI will reshape the expectations for systematic reviews and evidence workflows in 2026.

Register for this virtual event, happening Tuesday, December 16 at 11am EDT / 4pm GMT.

This year’s shrinking budgets, stretched timelines, and advancing AI made clear that today’s evidence-synthesis methods were built for a different era.

As teams experimented with prediction, data extraction, and risk-of-bias automation, the year also brought a wave of inflated promises – from “six-hour systematic reviews” to AI-first workflows that lacked rigor and transparency. Researchers spent much of 2025 distinguishing myth from capability.

In 2026, automation will shift from novelty to expectation. Evidence teams will face the need to evolve their processes, not just their tools.
