    Clinical case reports frequently share similar main findings, termed "nuggets." These nuggets are discoverable even in titles, suggesting potential for new information retrieval methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Clinical Literature Analysis

    Background:

    • Clinical case reports are a rich source of medical information.
    • Identifying recurring findings across multiple case reports is challenging but valuable.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the prevalence of shared main findings ('nuggets') in the clinical case report literature.
    • To evaluate the potential for automated discovery of these nuggets.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted 45 PubMed queries to identify case reports.
    • Analyzed results for shared main findings ('nuggets') reported in at least four articles.

    Main Results:

    • 'Nuggets' are surprisingly common in clinical case reports.
    • The largest identified nugget appeared in 17 articles.

  • Main findings were often discernible from titles alone.

    • Conclusions:

    • Curated 'nugget' examples can guide automated discovery tools.
    • This approach may shift information retrieval from topic-based to finding-based systems.
