### <b>About the Webinar</b>

This year’s shrinking budgets, stretched timelines, and advancing AI made clear that today’s evidence-synthesis methods were built for a different era.

As teams experimented with prediction, data extraction, and risk-of-bias automation, the year also brought a wave of inflated promises – from “six-hour systematic reviews” to AI-first workflows that lacked rigor and transparency. Researchers spent much of 2025 <strong>distinguishing myth from capability.</strong>

In 2026, automation will shift from novelty to expectation. Evidence teams will face the need to evolve their processes, not just their tools.

### <strong>Who You’ll Hear From</strong>

  - <b>Prof. Karen Robinson</b>, Chief Scientific Officer of PICO Portal and Director of Johns Hopkins’ Evidence-based Practice Center
  - <b>Dr. Farhad Shokraneh</b>, Evidence Synthesis Manager at University of Oxford
  - <b>Eitan Agai</b>, CEO & Founder of PICO Portal

### <b>What You’ll Learn</b>

  - What 2025 revealed about the <strong>limits of legacy evidence-synthesis methods</strong>
  - Why <strong>rigor, auditability, and methodological transparency</strong> will define 2026
  - Emerging signals around <strong>intellectual-property clarity, PDF rights, and AI policies</strong>

This is your opportunity to learn how evidence teams can stay competitive, credible, and efficient as the field enters a new era.
