1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

With the exponential growth of biomedical literature, leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) for automated medical knowledge understanding has become increasingly critical for advancing precision medicine. However, current approaches face significant challenges in reliability, verifiability, and scalability when extracting complex biological relationships from scientific literature using LLMs. To overcome the obstacles of LLM development in biomedical literature understating, we propose LORE, a novel unsupervised two-stage reading methodology with LLM that models literature as a knowledge graph of verifiable factual statements and, in turn, as semantic embeddings in Euclidean space. LORE captured essential gene pathogenicity information when applied to PubMed abstracts for large-scale understanding of disease-gene relationships. We demonstrated that modeling a latent pathogenic flow in the semantic embedding with supervision from the ClinVar database led to a 90% mean average precision in identifying relevant genes across 2097 diseases. This work provides a scalable and reproducible approach for leveraging LLMs in biomedical literature analysis, offering new opportunities for researchers to identify therapeutic targets efficiently.
