Tsafnat, Glasziou et al wrote an editorial recently on the possibility of automating elements of systematic review:

It offers some relevant references, such as:
Kiritchenko S, de Bruijn B, Carini S, Martin J, Sim I. ExaCT: automatic extraction of clinical trial characteristics from journal publications. BMC Med Inform Decis Mak2010;10:56.

Subject: Using NLP for critical appraisal
I’m wondering if anyone out there has toyed with using natural language recognition/programming software to “read” journal articles and apply elements of a critical appraisal checklist. While it wouldn’t replace humans,
it might be interesting to see if it’s helpful for screening large numbers of articles when doing systematic reviews. Thanks,
