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

This paper evaluates and compares different fine-tuned variations of generative large language models (LLM) in the zero-shot named entity recognition (NER) task for the clinical domain. As part of the 8th Biomedical Linked Annotation Hackathon, we examined Llama 2 and Mistral models, including base versions and those that have been fine-tuned for code, chat, and instruction-following tasks. We assess both the number of correctly identified entities and the models' ability to retrieve entities in structured formats. We used a publicly available set of clinical cases labeled with mentions of diseases, symptoms, and medical procedures for the evaluation. Results show that instruction fine-tuned models perform better than chat fine-tuned and base models in recognizing entities. It is also shown that models perform better when simple output structures are requested.
