Data extraction takes a lot of time and effort while conducting a systematic review. Silvi has an AI-powered feature that can help you fast-track your data extraction with zero hullications. Here's how to use it: 1. Once you have screened titles and abstracts, you will move on to the full text phase. Click on the "See all tags" button in the top-right corner. This will open the Tags menus for you. Click on "New tag" and add a tag for the type of data you want to extract. In "Description," add a brief description of what you would like the AI to extract. The better your prompt, the better the result. Select a color for each tag to differentiate it from other. 2. Once you have created multiple tags, close the Tags menu and click on the black "Let AI extract" button at the bottom. Select all the tags and AI will extract data from the paper relevant to the selected tags. The extracted data will be shown in the column to the right of your screen.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.

This isn't due to luck or skill.

Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.
