1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via a graphical user interface (GUI) presented via a user device, an input query including a search schema defining search parameters for a research topic, wherein the search parameters includes a source concept and a target concept associated with one or more causal pathways, and the search parameters are used by a research assistant tool to determine one or more concept links to establish the one or more causal pathways between the source concept and the target concept;
identifying one or more evidence passages that reference the source concept or the target concept;
determining, from the one or more evidence passages, one or more first links between the source concept and one or more first intermediate concepts;
determining that a causal link fails to be established between the one or more first intermediate concepts and the target concept;
determining, from the one or more evidence passages, one or more second links between the one or more first intermediate concepts and one or more second intermediate concepts;
determining that the causal link can be established between the one or more second intermediate concepts and the target concept, the causal link referencing a first concept of the one or more first intermediate concepts and a second concept of the one or more second intermediate concepts;
determining that a causal pathway of the one or more causal pathways exists between the source concept and the target concept; and
presenting, via a user interface presented via a user device, the causal pathway including a portion of the one or more evidence passages.
