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.

OptimusKG is a multimodal biomedical labeled property graph that integrates structured and semi‑structured resources to preserve detailed, type‑specific metadata across molecular, anatomical, clinical, and environmental domains. The graph contains nearly 191,000 nodes, over 21.8 million edges, and more than 67 million property instances derived from 18 ontologies, with a top‑level schema that enforces node and edge constraints while retaining granular provenance. Validation using the PaperQA3 agent found that 70.0% of sampled edges are supported by literature evidence, and the graph offers a standardized resource for machine learning, knowledge‑grounded retrieval, and hypothesis generation in biomedical research.

The article proposes a framework called quantitative evidence mining to transform biomedical findings into structured, context-rich evidence units. It outlines core elements such as claim, measured entity, value, comparator, population, conditions, temporal context, uncertainty, provenance, validation, and expert review. The authors present an eight-stage reference architecture and emphasize that plausibility should remain multidimensional rather than collapsed into a single truth label, linking extraction to evidence synthesis for applications like clinical trials, biomarker research, and knowledge-graph construction.
