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

Recent work has demonstrated that large language models (LLMs) are powerful tools for clinical information extraction from unstructured text. However, existing approaches have largely ignored the extraction of numeric information such as laboratory tests and vital signs. In this article, we present a case study on organ procurement that evaluates the ability of LLMs to extract numeric data from clinical text. We first describe our LLM-based approach, introducing a prompting strategy for numeric extraction and novel heuristics to combat hallucination. We validate our approach on a hand-annotated set of 298 notes, demonstrating that it has high accuracy, precision and recall. We then highlight the value of our approach for downstream data analysis using a corpus of 43,719 notes on 14,342 potential organ donors. This case study is a key component of an ongoing collaboration that aims to make data on organ procurement publicly available for informatics research.
