Dataset card

clinical-trials-xml-2018-2024 is a Hugging Face dataset published by dmariko that consolidates PubMed-style article metadata with extracted paragraph text from referenced publications, distributed under a CC0 1.0 tag. It contains a single training split of roughly 628,000 rows in tabular form.

What this dataset contains

The dataset joins bibliographic records for biomedical articles with paragraph-level text extracted from referenced figures, tables and supplementary materials, identified via columns such as AccessionID, RefID and PMID_x. Each row pairs a citation (Title, Authors, Journal/Book, Publication Year, DOI, NIHMS ID) with the underlying paragraph snippet, supporting fine-grained linking between claims and source literature. A Retracted flag is included so that downstream users can filter out withdrawn studies.

Structure and fields

The single CSV-distributed training split holds 627,629 rows and mixes string identifiers with one numeric year column (Publication Year) and a numeric PMID_y field. Identifier columns include PMID_x, PMCID_x, RefID, AccessionID, PMID_y, PMCID_y, DOI and NIHMS ID, while content fields carry paragraph text, subjects, keywords, Citation, First Author and Article Citation. Operational columns such as Key, ETag, Last Updated UTC (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS), License and Retracted support synchronization and provenance tracking with the upstream repository.

How analysts use it

Analysts can join paragraph text to bibliographic metadata to build retrieval, summarization or citation-graph datasets for biomedical NLP research, filtering with the Retracted field to keep only valid literature. The CC0 1.0 tag and CSV/tabular format make it compatible with pandas, polars and the mlcroissant library for reproducible loading. Use cases supported by the schema include evidence-linking for systematic reviews and constructing training corpora for scientific question answering, rather than investment analysis.
