Overview: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Scholarly output is accelerating in medical domains, making it challenging to keep up with the latest neurosurgical literature. The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has facilitated rapid, high-quality text summarization. However, LLMs cannot autonomously conduct literature reviews and are prone to hallucinating source material. We devised a novel strategy that combines Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy-a bibliometric technique for identifying foundational articles within a corpus-with LLMs to automatically summarize and cite salient details from articles. We demonstrate our approach for four common spinal conditions in a proof of concept. METHODS: Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy identified seminal articles from the corpora of literature for cervical myelopathy, lumbar radiculopathy, lumbar stenosis, and adjacent segment disease. The article text was split into 1024-token chunks.…
