Reputable Sites
The trusted destinations PICO-SEARCH links to as "Further reading" on every completed search. Australian-first, continuously curated. We never scrape, cache, paraphrase or embed their content — every entry is a pointer you click through to read on the publisher's own page.
Subscription-required destinations (eTG, AMH, MIMS) are clearly marked. If you have an active subscription, the deep link takes you straight to their pre-filled search page. If you don't, you'll see a sign-up prompt on their side — we never gate access through us.

Why we trust it: Originally from the King's College London EBM group, IEBH maintains an actively-pushed fork. GPL-3 means PICO-SEARCH cannot import the code — we link out only. The methodology paper is the canonical reference for automated RoB.
Free·globalTranslate a PubMed search query into Ovid, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science syntax
Why we trust it: Bond University's Systematic Review Accelerator team. Free clinician tool that converts a search string written for one database into the syntax of every other major database — saves hours when a clinician needs to run the same query across multiple platforms.

R package for text-mining seed references to build optimised Boolean search strings
Why we trust it: MIT-licensed R package by Eliza Grames for evidence-synthesis search-string optimisation. Used to derive Boolean queries that retrieve the most relevant literature for a given seed set. Active maintenance, peer-reviewed methodology paper.

Backward + forward citation chasing via Lens.org — R package + web tool
Why we trust it: MIT-licensed R package by Neal Haddaway for backward + forward citation chasing using the Lens.org open citation index. Standard tool in modern systematic-review methodology — finds papers that cite or are cited by a seed set.

Open-source RCT identification + automated risk-of-bias and PICO extraction (AI2 / Vanderbilt)
Why we trust it: Built by Allen Institute for AI and Vanderbilt EBM group. Uses transformer-based PICO span detection + RoB classifiers trained on Cochrane RoB judgements. Open source under Apache-2.0. Useful as a reference implementation we benchmark our own PICO extraction and RoB classification against.

Automated risk-of-bias assessment for RCTs — Cochrane-aligned web tool
Why we trust it: Open-source web tool from the King's College London EBM group, validated against Cochrane RoB judgements. Free to use, transparent methodology, regularly cited in SR-automation literature. The reference implementation for automated RoB.

The canonical PICO span-annotation gold standard — ~5,000 RCT abstracts crowd + expert annotated
Why we trust it: Released by Nye et al. (Northeastern + Brown) under MIT licence. The benchmark for PICO extraction span F1, used by every PICO-extraction paper since 2018. PICO-SEARCH plans to score against it as a regression target.

FOAMed blog — AU-run critical care and emergency medicine education
Why we trust it: AU-founded Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAMed) blog. Not a guideline body — but the most widely used FOAMed resource for emergency medicine and ICU education. Always cross-check against formal guidelines for clinical decisions.
