For medical librarians
A federated search built around how you already work.
You're the person other researchers come to when MEDLINE isn't enough. You already know LILACS, J-STAGE, HAL, and ThaiJO exist — the problem is the time it takes to translate a search strategy into five interfaces, screen non-English abstracts, and document everything for the PRISMA flow.
Symmathy is built for that job. One query runs in parallel across PubMed, Europe PMC, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov, J-STAGE, LILACS, HAL, ThaiJO, DOAJ, OpenAlex, and CrossRef. Titles and abstracts in Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, French, and Thai are translated inline. Every record links back to its original source — we never rewrite or rate the literature.
One query, parallel sources
Run a single search across 10+ databases including the regional sources Cochrane §4.3 expects you to cover. No five-tab workflow, no five query syntaxes.
Screen in your language
Non-English titles and abstracts translated inline so you and your review team can screen them. The original record is always one click away for the final read.
PRISMA-ready audit trail
Every search returns the list of sources queried, query terms used per source, result counts, and timestamps — the documentation a PRISMA flow diagram and a methods section need.
We find. We don't grade.
No quality scores, no "best paper" badges, no clinical recommendations. Risk-of-bias and GRADE stay with you and your review team, where they belong.
What we'd like from you
If you train clinicians and graduate students on systematic-review searching, we'd like your feedback — and we'll give you free institutional access in return. Tell us what your current search workflow looks like, where it breaks, and which regional database you'd add next. We're prioritizing new sources based on what librarians actually ask for.
