Utilizing Large language models to select literature for meta-analysis shows workload reduction while maintaining a similar recall level as manual curation

We show here the groundbreaking finding that automatic selection of literature for meta-analysis is possible with LLMs. We provide it here as a pipeline, LARS-GPT, which showed a great workload reduction while maintaining a pre-set recall.

Abstract

We show here the groundbreaking finding that automatic selection of literature for meta-analysis is possible with LLMs. We provide it here as a pipeline, LARS-GPT, which showed a great workload reduction while maintaining a pre-set recall.
