From Structured Records to Patient Narratives: Preserving Clinical Alignment in LLM-Generated Health Summaries

The paper explores how Large Language Models can translate structured clinical data into patient-friendly narratives while maintaining clinical accuracy. Using a constrained generation framework that blends evidence conditioning with Retrieval-Augmented Generation, the authors evaluate alignment through Natural Language Inference, factuality metrics, and readability. Their results show that grounding constraints improve clinical alignment and uncertainty preservation across three LLMs, though they may increase reading difficulty and medical terminology.

Building evidence-based knowledge bases from full-text literature for disease-specific biomedical reasoning

EvidenceNet is a disease‑specific dataset that transforms full‑text biomedical literature into structured evidence records and graph representations, preserving study design, provenance, and quantitative support. Using an LLM‑assisted pipeline, it extracts experimentally grounded findings, normalizes entities, scores evidence quality, and links related records via typed semantic relations. The released subsets—EvidenceNet‑HCC and EvidenceNet‑CRC—contain thousands of evidence records and richly connected graphs, with high extraction and relation‑type accuracy, enabling retrieval‑augmented question answering and graph‑based tasks such as link prediction and target prioritization.

Abstracts or full text? Evaluating input scope and computational efficiency in biomedical lay summarization

The study investigates whether using only abstracts of biomedical articles can produce lay summaries that match the quality of those derived from full texts, and whether few‑shot learning can replace fine‑tuning large language models. Experiments on two public datasets with two recent models show that abstract‑based summarization outperforms full‑text approaches in readability, factual consistency, semantic similarity, and runtime efficiency. Abstract fine‑tuning is 4.70 times faster and abstract zero‑ and few‑shot prompting is 5.31 times faster than full‑text methods, indicating that abstract‑based prompting reduces computational cost while preserving summary quality.
