Abstract
The exponential growth of biomedical literature has rendered traditional screening methods inefficient and unsustainable, making knowledge discovery akin to finding a needle in a haystack. While recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) offer new opportunities for rapid literature retrieval, many clinicians and researchers lack familiarity with these tools. In this study, we optimized LitSuggest, a user-friendly, code-free AI-based literature screening system, and established a standardized operational workflow. Using the field of organoid-based bone tissue engineering as a case study, the optimized system achieved an accuracy of 98.83%, precision of 76.19%, recall of 83.33%, and an F1-score of 79.60%, while reducing manual screening workload by over 90%. Furthermore, we innovatively integrated correlation scoring into literature analysis, revealing that China and the United States are leading contributors to bone organoid regeneration research, and that complex and genetic disease organoid models hold significant research potential. This AI-driven approach enables researchers to focus on high-value literature, improving efficiency while guiding future research in bone organoid regeneration and broader biomedical fields.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Biomedical Informatics reflects a commitment to high-quality original research papers, reviews, and commentaries in the area of biomedical informatics methodology. Although we publish articles motivated by applications in the biomedical sciences (for example, clinical medicine, health care, population health, and translational bioinformatics), the journal emphasizes reports of new methodologies and techniques that have general applicability and that form the basis for the evolving science of biomedical informatics. Articles on medical devices; evaluations of implemented systems (including clinical trials of information technologies); or papers that provide insight into a biological process, a specific disease, or treatment options would generally be more suitable for publication in other venues. Papers on applications of signal processing and image analysis are often more suitable for biomedical engineering journals or other informatics journals, although we do publish papers that emphasize the information management and knowledge representation/modeling issues that arise in the storage and use of biological signals and images. System descriptions are welcome if they illustrate and substantiate the underlying methodology that is the principal focus of the report and an effort is made to address the generalizability and/or range of application of that methodology. Note also that, given the international nature of JBI, papers that deal with specific languages other than English, or with country-specific health systems or approaches, are acceptable for JBI only if they offer generalizable lessons that are relevant to the broad JBI readership, regardless of their country, language, culture, or health system.
