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

objectivesTo evaluate the performance of a locally deployed adaptation of TrialGPT, a large language model (LLM) system for identifying trial-eligible patients from unstructured electronic health record (EHR) data. MATERIALS AND

methodsTrialGPT was re-engineered for secure, deployment at UT Health San Antonio using a locally hosted LLM. It was optimized for real-world data needs through a longitudinal patient-encounter-note hierarchy mirroring EHR documentation. Performance was evaluated in two stages: (1) benchmarking against an expert-adjudicated gold corpus (n = 149) and (2) comparative validation against manual screening (n = 55).

resultsAgainst the expert-adjudicated corpus, the system achieved 81.8% sensitivity, 97.8% specificity, and a positive predictive value of 75.0%. Compared with manual screening, it identified more than twice as many truly eligible patients (81.8% vs 36.4%) while preserving equivalent specificity.

conclusionThe adapted TrialGPT framework operationalizes trial matching, translating EHR data into actionable screening intelligence for efficient, scalable clinical trial recruitment.
