Configurable Clinical Information Extraction with Agentic RAG: What Works, What Breaks, and Why

arXiv:2606. 19602v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Patient contexts span hundreds of heterogeneous documents and thousands of structured data points, yet the document-level metadata that AI systems need for retrieval and triage is absent or incomplete.

CLEAR: Cross-Source Evidence Adjudication for Large Language Models in Medicine

The paper introduces CLEAR, an agentic framework designed to improve the reliability of large language models (LLMs) in medical contexts by adjudicating evidence from multiple sources. CLEAR generates candidate answers from three distinct pathways—parametric knowledge, locally curated corpora, and dynamically retrieved evidence—and then uses an aggregation verifier to evaluate agreement and conflict among these sources. An adjudication module decides whether to preserve or revise conclusions, employing override-guard and challenge-audit mechanisms, and initiates targeted follow-up searches when conflicts remain unresolved.

CARE: Privacy-Compliant Agentic Reasoning with Evidence Discordance

The paper introduces MIMIC-DOS, a dataset derived from MIMIC-IV that focuses on ICU cases where patient symptoms and medical signs are discordant. It presents CARE, a privacy‑compliant multi‑stage agentic reasoning framework that uses a proprietary LLM to generate structured categories and transitions, while a local LLM performs evidence acquisition and decision‑making. In retrospective evaluations on MIMIC‑DOS, CARE outperforms other LLMs and agentic workflows, demonstrating stronger handling of conflicting clinical evidence while preserving patient privacy.

From Conflict to Consensus: Boosting Medical Reasoning via Multi-Round Agentic RAG

arXiv:2603. 03292v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit high reasoning capacity in medical question-answering, but their tendency to produce hallucinations and outdated knowledge poses critical risks in healthcare fields.

EviStreams: Human-in-the-Loop AI Data Extraction for Systematic Reviews in Medicine

EviStreams is a live, open‑source, no‑code web platform that enables systematic review teams to control AI‑assisted data extraction at three stages: program design, field specification, and extracted predictions. Reviewers use a form builder to define typed fields, run extraction on PDFs, inspect AI‑generated values with supporting passages, and perform blinded dual review with adjudication to produce an auditable consensus export. An evaluation across four clinical corpora and three model families shows that extraction quality depends more on field specification than on the model choice.

ClinAgent: A ReAct-Based Agent for Conversational Access to Clinical Trial Information

ClinAgent is a conversational system that uses a ReAct-based LLM agent to retrieve and synthesize clinical trial information from multiple sources such as ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and a local dataset. The agent iteratively reasons over user queries, selects appropriate tools, and refines its actions to provide grounded, up-to-date responses in natural language across multi-turn interactions. Evaluation across three phases shows that DeepSeek (thinking mode) excels in planning quality while Gemini 3.0 Flash delivers the highest overall performance and expert ratings, demonstrating the promise of agentic AI for improving clinical trial data access.

Retrieval-Augmented Agentic Rubric Generation for Reliable Medical Response Evaluation

The paper introduces a retrieval‑augmented multi‑agent framework that automatically generates instance‑specific evaluation rubrics for medical language models. By retrieving authoritative medical evidence, decomposing it into atomic facts, and combining these with user interaction constraints, the system produces fine‑grained criteria that outperform GPT‑4o on HealthBench and LLMEval‑Med. The generated rubrics also guide response refinement, improving medical LLM output quality by 9.2%.

Large Language Model Agents for Evidence Based Genetic Disease Severity Classification

The paper presents an autonomous AI agent that combines ReAct and Retrieval-Augmented Generation to classify the severity of genetic diseases using 10,211 Human Phenotype Ontology terms. It applies ACMG severity guidelines and ACOG quality-of-life criteria, retrieving PubMed literature to produce interpretable reasoning chains and verify claims. The agent achieved 93.55% accuracy on phenotype-level classification and identified 3,283 autosomal recessive gene pairs with severe presentations, with 95.2% concordance in external validation.
