Benchmarking of signaling networks generated by large language models.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Computational models of signaling networks provide frameworks for predicting how molecular cues guide cell decisions. But they are typically limited by manual curation from incomplete literature. Here, we test whether general-purpose large language models (LLMs) generate accurate models of signaling networks. We find that general purpose LLMs generate 24-58% of the reactions of literature-curated networks for cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, myofibroblast activation, and mechano-signaling, and predicting network responses to perturbations with accuracies of 5-26%. While current general-purpose LLMs generate signaling networks with limited accuracy, this study provides a pipeline and benchmarks to guide future improvements.
