MetaLit
Intelligent Literature Search for Pharmacovigilance Across PubMed, Embase & More
Discover FeaturesWhy MetaLit?
Unified AI Platform
MetaLit is PV Analytica's AI-driven literature monitoring and extraction platform, purpose-built for pharmacovigilance teams. It brings advanced search, full-text retrieval, and structured extraction into a unified, regulated workflow.
Proactive Safety Surveillance
In life sciences and safety surveillance, staying ahead of published literature is critical. Yet manually screening thousands of papers is inefficient, error-prone, and unsustainable as volumes grow.
MetaLit transforms literature monitoring into a proactive, auditable, and AI-enabled process.

How It Works
How It Works (User Flow)
Configure search prompts in Prompt Admin → specify drug names, AE filters.
Schedule or run on-demand queries via MetaLit
MetaLit calls PubMed, Embase, and other sources to retrieve metadata and full texts
LLM processes each article → extracts structured content (sections, tables, paragraphs)
Results appear in a tabular UI. Users pick articles for batch summary.
Secondary reviewer adds comments (via SharePoint) → Primary reviewer pushes or rejects for ICSR intake.
