Artificial Intelligence for Evidence Synthesis of Emerging Biologics to Improve Skeletal Health in Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials of biologics for Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) to evaluate their efficacy and safety, while implementing a large language model (LLM)-assisted workflow for the review process.
Approach:
Search Strategy: Identified novel biologics through a scan of clinical trials and systematically searched PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for human studies published up to December 1, 2025.
Eligibility Criteria: Included trials reporting preliminary efficacy outcomes and excluded those that were withdrawn, suspended, or conducted solely in animal models.
LLM-Assisted Workflow: Implemented a workflow that simulates integrated human screening and appraisal to evaluate agreement with human reviewers.
Key Findings:
Current therapies for OI are primarily palliative and less effective in adults or severe phenotypes.
Emerging biologics offer targeted mechanisms of action but have uncertain clinical value due to limited data.
Existing systematic reviews are limited by narrow drug scope and variability in study design.
Interpretation:
The study highlights the need for a comprehensive evaluation of biologics in OI, utilizing advanced AI methods to enhance the systematic review process.
Limitations:
Heterogeneous study designs and inconsistent outcomes complicate the review process.
Current AI applications are limited in task scope and methodological rigor.
Conclusion:
The study aims to provide an up-to-date synthesis of biologics for OI, addressing gaps in existing literature and improving the review process through AI integration.
