The SwissACS Research Prize 2025 has been awarded to Justyna Mohr for her meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials comparing intraumbilical versus periumbilical incision in laparoscopic appendectomy — conducted using the EVIglance platform.

Marco Florian Aigner receives the 2025 award in the Students category (endowed with €2,000) for his work on AI-enhanced screening of scientific literature, based on real-world data from EVIglance. His project demonstrates the potential of machine learning and large language models to improve the efficiency and accuracy of evidence-based research.

The Evidence Map of Pancreatic Surgery was presented at the World Pancreas Forum in Bern, Switzerland.

A recent Cochrane Review used EVIglance as a validation source for the systematic literature search. This marks a major milestone: EVIglance is now recognized by Cochrane as a valid and efficient alternative to conventional database searches. A significant step towards establishing EVIglance as a standard tool for evidence synthesis in surgery and beyond.

Open access publication of the protocol for a living systematic review and evidence map on liver surgery by Heersche et al. in BMJ Open. For the first time, EVIglance Studio is being used as the central tool for the systematic literature search and evidence mapping in liver surgery. The project will result in a continuously updated, open-access map of randomized trials and systematic reviews — freely accessible via the EVIglance app.

Montorsi et al. published a systematic review on delayed gastric emptying emptying after pancreatic surgery in the renowned Annals of Surgery - using EVIglance as the primary source for the systematic literature search. This is the first time EVIglance has served as the exclusive foundation for a complete evidence synthesis. The study shows: Systematic reviews based on EVIglance are significantly more efficient than conventional database searches – yet equally accurate.

Open access publication of the protocol for a living systematic review and evidence map for the surgical treatment of bladder cancer in the International Journal of Surgery Protocols. This new project brings the EVIglance concept to urology. A continuously updated, open-access evidence map will provide clinicians, researchers, and patients with rapid and comprehensive access to high-quality data on bladder cancer surgery — directly supporting evidence-based decision-making.

We tested the efficiency of EVIglance in answering a clinical question. The study demonstrates that clinicians using EVIglance found relevant literature faster (2 min vs. 11 min) and more accurately (94% vs. 17%) compared to traditional PubMed searches. This marks an important step toward establishing EVIglance as a new standard in evidence-based clinical decision-making.
