Lindexer review
A broad review workflow for teams that need appraisal, extraction, and analysis.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Lindexer is web-based software for systematic literature reviews, with a particular focus on medical devices and in vitro diagnostics. It supports reviewers from database searching and citation screening through full-text review, study appraisal, data extraction, analysis, and reporting. Teams that need a structured review workflow, especially those analyzing extracted study data, are its clearest audience.
The workflow combines search-result import from PubMed, Google Scholar, or ClinicalTrials.gov with deduplication and title-and-abstract screening. Keyword highlighting and exclusion reasons support screening decisions, while AI can sort abstracts by relevance and suggest inclusion or exclusion with justifications. Reviewers can examine PDFs in an integrated viewer, automatically fetch some free full texts, and appraise studies with templates or custom forms. Extracted information goes into customizable tables, including through parsing pasted PDF text.
Analysis and reporting are a notable part of the scope: configurable pivot tables and calculated parameters help examine datasets, and PRISMA 2020 flow charts and Excel export support reporting. Professional, Business, and Enterprise are paid plans; each lists full feature access, unlimited users, and change management, while Enterprise also lists a training and onboarding program. Business has a minimum of three projects. The 14-day trial offers a way to evaluate the workflow, but teams seeking a free ongoing plan should look elsewhere. Lindexer fits reviewers who value appraisal and dataset analysis in one process; organizations that depend on a broader integration ecosystem may prefer another option. It is cloud-deployed, web-only, with email support.
