• Abstract: The introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly impacted various fields, including education, for example, by enabling the creation of personalized learning materials. However, their use in Systematic Reviews (SRs) reveals limitations such as restricted access to specialized vocabularies, lack of domain-specific reasoning, and a tendency to generate inaccurate information. Existing SR tools often rely on traditional NLP methods and fail to address these issues adequately. To overcome these challenges, we developed the ``NeuroLit Navigator,'' a system that combines domain-specific LLMs with structured knowledge sources like Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). This integration enhances query formulation, expands search vocabularies, and deepens search scopes, enabling more precise searches. Deployed in multiple universities and tested by over a dozen librarians, the NeuroLit Navigator has reduced the time required for initial literature searches by 90\%. Despite this efficiency, the initial set of articles retrieved can vary in relevance and quality. Nonetheless, the system has greatly improved the reproducibility of search results, demonstrating its potential to support librarians in the SR process.
