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

Biomedical information extraction (BIE) is fundamental for transforming unstructured biomedical text into structured, computable knowledge, yet the effectiveness of large language models (LLMs) remains limited by dataset heterogeneity and lack of unified benchmarks. We present InfoFlowEX, a unified framework for generalizable biomedical knowledge extraction with LLMs. InfoFlowEX incorporates an automated data integration pipeline using ontology-guided alignment to construct BIE-Corpus, a large-scale multi-domain benchmark unifying 40 public datasets for named entity recognition and relation extraction. We further introduce a task-conditioned schema instruction tuning strategy encoding 28 biomedical entity and relation types into a schema codebase, enabling LLMs to align heterogeneous annotations and generalize across settings. Finally, we evaluated InfoFlowEX in diverse applications, including evidence retrieval for question-answering, clinical diagnosis from electronic health records, and knowledge graph expansion. Results demonstrate that InfoFlowEX equips LLMs with robust adaptability, achieving consistent gains over baselines with minimal task-specific customization, highlighting InfoFlowEX for real-world biomedical applications.
