| # Synthetic clinical question set for verbatim-citation evaluation |
|
|
| 222 synthetic clinical questions, each written from one section of a published |
| cardiometabolic practice guideline. |
|
|
| Questions carry the **identifier** of their source section, not its text. The |
| guidelines are copyrighted and cannot be redistributed, so you need your own copy of |
| them. The harness rebuilds the section tree from them, and the labels resolve against |
| that tree. |

| ## Fields |
|
|
| | Field | Notes | |
| |---|---| |
| | `question_id` | unique, shaped `<guideline_id>_<node_id>_<style>_qNN` | |
| | `question` | the question text | |
| | `question_style` | `lookup` (asks for a recommendation directly), `scenario` (describes one patient and asks what applies to them), or `sdm` (asks how to discuss the options with a patient). 74 each | |
| | `guideline_id` | `blood-pressure-2025` (42), `cvd-prevention-2019` (75), `diabetes-care-2026` (75), `dyslipidemia-2026` (30) | |
| | `guideline_name` | the guideline's full title | |
| | `source` | the gold label: which section the question came from | |
|
|
| Inside `source`: |
|
|
| | Key | Notes | |
| |---|---| |
| | `node_id` | the gold section. Unique only together with `guideline_id`, since section ids repeat across guidelines | |
| | `chapter_id`, `subtopic_id` | the same section at chapter and at subtopic granularity | |
| | `path` | node ids from the document root down to the section | |
| | `title_path` | the corresponding section headings | |
| | `level`, `section_type` | position in the section tree | |
| | `char_count` | length of the section text | |
|
|
| 74 sections in total, three questions on each. Generated with `gpt-4o-mini`, one |
| section at a time. |
