#ZakKohane on #AI in #PeerReview: the surge in scientific publication is straining the conventional review system beyond capacity. @ai.nejm.org piloting AI-augmented fast track review: manuscripts w high prior of being good gets assigned to #GPT5 + a human, disposition reviewed by editorial team!

Our comparisons of submitted and published abstracts suggest that peer review and editorial processes result in substantial revision of research reports. The findings reinforce the importance of editorial oversight in scientific publishing, highlighting its role in refining study design communication, reporting of outcomes, and overall clarity in research dissemination.

Comparing submitted vs published RCT abstracts eval'd at @nejm.org in 4 domains (design, outcome, AEs, conclusions). published abstracts improved in a mean 0.9 domains. More improvements observed in leading gen med vs 433 other journals (72 % vs 48%) www.acpjournals.org/...

Aspiration Thrombectomy for Coronary Stent Thrombosis Panel A: Coronary angiography revealing a large thrombus in the LAD artery stent. Panel B: The thrombus that was removed with the use of an aspiration catheter. Panel C: The stent that was dilated with a balloon at high pressure, which resulted in improved flow.

A 73-year-old woman presented with severe chest pain. She had undergone multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention 2.5 years earlier. Angiography revealed a large thrombus in an LAD artery stent (shown in videos). Read the full case details: nej.md/4jC2aSa
