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

Background: Standardized residency training in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) relies heavily on Case-Based Learning (CBL). Yet, manually curating high-quality teaching cases remains a labor-intensive burden. Objective: To develop and evaluate a methodological framework using a locally deployed large language model (LLM) to automate the extraction and construction of structured CBL databases. Methods: We employed a locally deployed Qwen3-8B-Instruct model to analyze 3678 OB/GYN PubMed case abstracts, extracting primary diagnosis, core teaching points, clinical pitfalls, and difficulty levels. Two senior OB/GYN educators established a ground-truth dataset from 100 randomly selected cases to quantify extraction accuracy and AI hallucination rates. Teaching utility was assessed via a 5-point Likert scale, calculating inter-rater reliability using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Results: Our automated framework effectively categorized the 3678 cases into diverse subspecialties, with Reproductive Endocrinology and Obstetrics (28.10%) and Andrology and Male Infertility (25.20%) representing the largest cohorts. The LLM demonstrated high precision in extracting objective clinical data, achieving a 96.0% accuracy rate for primary diagnoses and 92.0% for core teaching points. Notably, the overall incidence of AI hallucinations remained low at 3.0%. In pedagogical evaluations, the model earned high scores for diagnostic accuracy (Mean = 4.48/5.0, Conclusion: This study demonstrates that LLMs offer an efficient, scalable framework for building large-scale CBL databases. While highly accurate in extracting objective facts, AI still lacks the "tacit knowledge" and empirical intuition of senior clinicians. Thus, human oversight remains indispensable to validate content and mitigate clinical risks. Future research must evaluate how these databases directly impact resident competency and learning outcomes.
