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

Manual curation of gene-disease-phenotype relationships from the human genetics literature is a persistent bottleneck for maintaining its bioinformatics databases. Whereas large language models (LLMs) offer a promising alternative, there is currently no systematic benchmark that evaluates whether state-of-the-art commercial LLMs can perform this task reliably on the full-text articles. To address this gap, we introduce a standardized benchmark comprising 406 full-text articles covering 180 congenital heart disease-associated genes, and a multi-dimensional evaluation framework that incorporates fuzzy matching to account for synonyms and partial matches. We benchmarked seven state-of-the-art LLMs, GPT-4o, Claude-Opus-4, DeepSeek-R1, Grok-4, Qwen-3.5, Gemini-2.5 (Pro), and GPT-5 on the extraction of structured gene, disease, and phenotype fields. The top-performing model, Grok-4, achieved 97.6% overall accuracy, whereas the lowest-performing model reached approximately 88%, still surpassing many prior benchmarks employing zero-shot or
