Introduction – From Dense PDF to Discovery
Every day PubMed adds more than 3 000 new biomedical papers. Clinicians, PhD candidates and policy analysts want the signal, not the noise, but most papers remain buried behind walls of text, p-values and supplemental PDFs. “MedLit Simplified” is an AI pipeline purpose-built for medical literature: upload any PDF, DOCX or PubMed link and receive (1) a PubMed-ready visual abstract, (2) a concise slide deck, and (3) a lay-language summary—all in under three minutes. Whether you are preparing a Grand Rounds talk, a grant pitch, or a Twitter thread for #FOAMed, MedLit turns dense research into digestible, citable visuals without compromising scientific rigor.
Core Pipeline – Four Medical-Grade Engines
1.MedBERT Parser
A transformer fine-tuned on 2.8 million MEDLINE abstracts extracts key sentences, outcome measures, confidence intervals and adverse events with 98 % precision.
2.Visual Abstract Designer
Auto-builds a 1 080 × 1 080 PNG or SVG compliant with Elsevier, NEJM and JAMA visual-abstract guidelines: header, objective bar, forest plot thumbnail, conclusion ribbon and institutional logo.
3.Slide Generator
Creates 8–12 PowerPoint or Google Slides pages: background, methods bubble, Kaplan-Meier chart, forest plot, discussion and references (Vancouver style).
4.Lay-Language Rewriter
Produces a 250-word summary at a Grade-8 reading level, highlighting clinical relevance for patients or policymakers.
Supported Inputs
• PDF manuscripts (peer-reviewed or preprints)
• PubMed IDs or DOIs (auto-pull full text when open access)
• supplementary CSV or XLSX datasets
• Voice memos summarizing findings for rapid turnaround
Step-by-Step Workflow (3-Minute Cycle)
Step 1 – Upload or Paste ID
Drag the PDF or paste the PubMed URL; the dashboard auto-fetches metadata (title, authors, journal, impact factor).
Step 2 – Choose Output Bundle
• Visual Abstract only
• Slide Deck only
• Full Bundle (visual abstract + slides + lay summary)
Step 3 – Configure Brand & Style
Upload institutional logo once; pick color palette compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA for accessibility.
Step 4 – Generate & Review
Typical metrics:
• 4 000-word RCT → visual abstract + 10 slides in 2 minutes 15 seconds
• Systematic review → 12 slides + forest plots in 2 minutes 45 seconds
Step 5 – Export & Share
Download PNG visual abstract, PPTX or Google Slides, or one-click post to Twitter/LinkedIn with alt-text pre-filled.
Deep-Dive Features Clinicians Rely On
Forest Plot Auto-Creator
Reads HR, CI and p-values from tables, plots them in ggplot2-quality graphics with risk-of-traffic-light coloring.
Adverse-Event Heatmap
Converts supplemental adverse-event tables into heatmaps sized by incidence rate.
Statistical Accuracy Lock
Numbers, units and p-values are frozen; only formatting changes—no hallucinations.
Citation Manager
Vancouver auto-citations link back to PubMed; clicking a reference opens the original abstract.
Real-World Wins
Resident Grand Rounds
A cardiology fellow uploads a 5 000-word JACC paper on TAVR outcomes. MedLit delivers a 9-slide deck plus a visual abstract tweeted to 12 k followers within an hour.
PhD Defense
A biomedical student feeds a 60-page thesis chapter on CRISPR off-target effects. AI generates 15 slides with forest plots of mutation frequencies—approved by the committee on first pass.
Policy Brief
A public-health analyst converts a Cochrane review on mask efficacy into a lay-language summary and policy slide deck shared with state legislators.
