A Corpus with Multi-Level Annotations of Patients, Interventions and Outcomes to Support Language Processing for Medical Literature (P18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | In 2015 alone, about 100 manuscripts describing randomized controlled trials for medical interventions were published every day. |
| Approach: | They propose a corpus of 5,000 medical articles annotated with demarcations of text spans that describe the Patient population enrolled, the Interventions studied and to what they were Compared, and the Outcomes measured. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus includes 5,000 medical articles describing clinical randomized controlled trials. |

| Challenge: | ClinicalTrialsHub consolidates clinical trial data from ClinicalTrial.gov and augments it by extracting and structuring trial-relevant information from PubMed. |
| Approach: | They propose a search-focused platform that consolidates PubMed data and extracts structured trial information. |
| Outcome: | ClinicalTrialsHub increases access to structured clinical trial data by 83.8% compared to ClinicalTrial.gov alone. |

| Challenge: | FactPICO is a factuality benchmark for plain language summarization of medical texts describing randomized controlled trials . existing metrics for factual summarizing medical evidence are poorly correlated with expert judgments on the instance level. |
| Approach: | They propose a factuality benchmark for plain language summarization of medical texts . they assess factuality of critical elements of RCTs in those summaries . |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark assesses the factuality of medical summaries using LLMs . the summary summators are based on 345 plain language summaires with fine-grained evaluation . |
