SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Read abstracts and, when available, full text to extract structured evidence for literature screening. Use when a paper is ambiguous after abstract screening or the user needs method, dataset, supervision, or limitation details.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured evidence extraction from abstracts and full text, including task, method, dataset, supervision, and limitations.
  • Explicit handling when full text is unavailable, with clear notes and conservative confidence.
  • Output includes evidence entries with section, excerpt, note, and confidence.
  • Works with local PDFs or text when provided and integrates into screening workflows.

Quick Start

Provide the paper metadata and include the full text if available so this skill can extract method, dataset, supervision, and limitations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract structured evidence from research paper abstracts for literature screening?

Extract structured evidence from abstracts by identifying task, method, dataset, supervision, and limitation details to support literature screening workflows. Output a structured dataset containing section, excerpt, note, and confidence fields for each evidence entry.

What happens to evidence extraction when full text is unavailable for a paper?

When full text is unavailable, evidence extraction proceeds using only the abstract with clear notes indicating the limitation and conservative confidence scores. The output explicitly flags missing full text so researchers can gauge the reliability of the extracted evidence.

Can I extract methods and datasets from local PDFs for a literature review?

You can extract methods and datasets from local PDFs by providing the paper metadata and full text to the skill. It processes the available content to output structured evidence entries covering tasks, supervision, and limitations required for your literature review.

What is the best way to get limitation details from a paper when the abstract is ambiguous?

The best way to get limitation details from an ambiguous abstract is to supply the full text for structured evidence extraction. The skill analyzes the complete document to isolate method, dataset, supervision, and limitation specifics that the abstract alone does not clearly state.

Does evidence extraction work with only abstract text if I cannot access the full paper?

Evidence extraction works with only abstract text by applying conservative confidence scores and notes indicating full text is unavailable. It parses the available abstract to capture available task, method, dataset, supervision, and limitation information for your screening process.

What fields are included in the structured evidence dataset output?

The structured evidence dataset output includes fields for section, excerpt, note, and confidence. These fields organize the extracted task, method, dataset, supervision, and limitation details to integrate directly into your literature screening workflow.
