Systematic review is an important method to obtain clinical decision evidence. The traditional systematic review is primarily conducted manually, which cannot meet the needs of rapid decision-making due to its high time and labor force cost as well as low efficiency. However, the development of information technology has laid the foundation for computer-aided systematic review methods. Attempts have been made to replace or enhance manual operations by introducing computer technology in all aspects of systematic review, thereby improving efficiency. This paper integrates the methodological research and its application of computer-aided systematic review both domestically and abroad from perspectives of literature acquisition, data processing and evidence evaluation. The aim of this paper is to understand the status quo and future trend in this field, and to provide reference for further researches related to automated systematic review technology.
