jev-synergy-screening

Experiment screening ADHD review abstracts as include or exclude with Jev, scored against Cohen et al. 2006 abstract triage labels.

Appresearch

Overview

This demo applies Jev to systematic-review abstract screening. MEDLINE titles and abstracts are fetched by PMID for an ADHD pharmacologic review (851 records, 84 includes), and Jev answers a Choice of include or exclude together with atomic Noul questions encoding the eligibility criteria (population, listed drugs, design, outcomes, duration and publication-type exclusions). Code combines them into a verdict, and results are compared with Cohen et al. 2006 abstract triage gold labels.

The README is careful about fairness: gold labels come only from abstract triage, matching the title-and-abstract evidence. On the full 851 records it reports 94.6% accuracy, 83.3% recall and 75.3% F1 for the include class at about 520 ms mean latency and roughly $0.08 total. A head-to-head on 100 stratified records reports Jev at 72.7% F1 versus Claude Sonnet 4.5 at 72.0% F1, at $0.0065 versus $0.586, with the author warning not to headline that subset since it has only 10 positives.

How it works

  1. Fetch MEDLINE title and abstract by PMID
  2. Ask Jev an include/exclude Choice plus atomic eligibility Nouls
  3. Combine answers in code with the documented rule
  4. Compare against gold labels and report metrics, latency and cost

Strengths

  • Evidence modality matches the gold labels
  • README reports 83.3% recall on full set at about $0.08 total
  • Comparable F1 to Claude Sonnet 4.5 at roughly 1% of the cost on the H2H subset

Caveats

  • Single topic (ADHD) dataset
  • H2H subset has only 10 positives
  • Source data is not CC-BY and must be cited

Frequently asked questions

What does Jev decide?

Whether each abstract should be included in or excluded from the ADHD review, via a Choice plus atomic eligibility Nouls.

How did it compare with Claude?

On a 100-record subset the README reports 72.7% F1 for Jev versus 72.0% for Claude Sonnet 4.5, at far lower cost and latency.

Is it a general screening tool?

No, it is an experiment on one review topic with its own criteria.
