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

Objective: We present a method and open-source prototype to augment Clinical Quality Language (CQL) using a large language model (LLM) in the execution loop for querying unstructured text. Materials and Methods: We modified a popular CQL engine to trigger an LLM-in-the-Loop pipeline (LitL) whenever CQL references unstructured FHIR resources, without altering the existing structured resource handling. LitL generates a binary response to natural language queries from CQL using an LLM. Results: We present an open-source prototype that includes: an implementation of the LitL pattern, and a modified CQL execution engine that triggers LitL for unstructured data. The feasibility testing with two locally hosted LLMs achieved an accuracy of 72% and 93% respectively. An end-to-end prototype is provided to facilitate implementation with configurable models, prompts and hyperparameters. Conclusion: The LitL pattern extends CQL to unstructured data, preserving compatibility with existing CQL and reducing hallucination. All components of the prototype are free and open source.
