Literature Review Starter: Papers, PubMed Table & Citations
Example session with this skill installed
What does the research say about GLP-1 drugs and heart failure since 2020? I need RCTs and meta-analyses with free PDFs, in Vancouver style.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the literature review starter
Search strings used, PRISMA-style counts, a ranked reading list (paper, year, design, citations, free PDF, status), a PubMed evidence table with quoted sample sizes and retraction screen, and the references in Vancouver.
Connects securely to your tools. The creator never sees your data.
About this skill
Go from a question to a ranked, real reading list and a screening-ready evidence table in minutes. Every paper comes from OpenAlex or PubMed; nothing is recalled from memory, so there are no invented references.
Read references/calling-the-tools.md before the first run (calling options, token and spending rules).
| Step | MCP tool / Actor slug | What it returns | Live price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discover | literature_search / literature-search | Papers from OpenAlex with authors, year, venue, citation count, DOI, abstract, free legal PDF (Unpaywall), retraction flag, formatted citation, a ranked reading list and BibTeX | $0.003 per paper |
| Biomedical evidence | pubmed_evidence_table / pubmed-evidence-table | PubMed articles with study design from NLM indexing, sample size quoted from the abstract (blank when ambiguous), population tags, OK / CHECK / FIX retraction screen, PRISMA-style counts, search log, RIS / Rayyan CSV | $0.004 per article |
| Format | citation_formatter / citation-formatter | Chosen papers in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver plus BibTeX and RIS | $0.003 per citation |
Searches that find nothing are not charged. Example: 50 OpenAlex papers + 100 PubMed articles + 20 formatted = about $0.61.
OpenAlex coverage is broad but not complete; some abstracts are withheld. PubMed is biomedical only. Free PDFs exist only for open-access papers. Not for coursework or ghostwriting. Requires an Apify account.
