SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms extracted research data into a structured, evidence-based narrative, ensuring that conclusions are directly supported by the source material and explicitly addressing limitations and biases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Synthesis: Generates a narrative report from structured data (e.g., CSV extraction tables).
  • Evidence Grounding: Ensures all claims are traceable to specific data points.
  • Bias and Limitation Reporting: Integrates critical analysis of study limitations and risk of bias.
  • Use Case: After completing the screening and extraction phases of a systematic review, use this Skill to draft the synthesis section of the final report, ensuring it accurately reflects the extracted evidence and acknowledges any methodological weaknesses.

Quick Start

Use the synthesis-writer skill to create output/SYNTHESIS.md from papers/extraction_table.csv.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a systematic review synthesis from extracted CSV data?

To write a systematic review synthesis from extracted CSV data, use this Skill to transform structured study data and bias assessments into a structured narrative report. It grounds all claims in source data and explicitly addresses methodological limitations.

What is evidence synthesis in systematic review writing?

Evidence synthesis in systematic review writing is the process of integrating extracted study data into a structured narrative. This Skill ensures conclusions are directly traceable to specific data points while explicitly reporting limitations and risk of bias.

Can I generate a narrative report that includes bias assessment from a CSV file?

Yes, you can generate a narrative report that integrates bias assessment directly from a CSV file. The Skill processes extracted study data alongside its associated risk of bias evaluations to produce a structured synthesis document.

How do I ensure traceability to source data when drafting a literature synthesis?

To ensure traceability to source data when drafting a literature synthesis, this Skill grounds every narrative claim in specific data points from the input CSV. It maps the generated report directly back to the extracted evidence table.

Do I need a pre-formatted extraction table to use this synthesis writer?

Yes, you need a pre-formatted CSV extraction table containing extracted study data and associated bias assessments. The Skill requires this structured input to generate the narrative synthesis and accurately reflect the underlying evidence.
