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

Physicians learn primarily about illicit drugs from clinical overdose cases, limiting their understanding of real-world usage. Meanwhile, drug users share first-hand experiences online, offering insights into dosage and effects of drugs. To bridge this gap, we introduce ReDose (REddit Drug DOSe and Effect), a dataset of 6,435 Reddit posts on substance use. A board-certified toxicologist primarily annotated both the training and test sets, while two medical science students contributed to the test set, labeling DRUG, DOSE, and EFFECT entities. We benchmarked 6,267 annotations using BERT-based, large language model (LLM)-based, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models. BiomedBERT achieved an F1-score of 0.843 for DRUG, while Llama-3 70B outperformed GPT-4 (F1 = 0.79 vs. 0.72). EFFECT extraction remains challenging, with GPT-4 achieving a recall of 0.41. ReDose captures patient-curated narratives to advance medical data extraction from social media.
