| name | psytar-query |
| description | Query the PsyTAR psychiatric adverse-reaction corpus. Use when the user asks about patient-reported ADRs, withdrawal symptoms, drug indications, or effectiveness for Zoloft, Lexapro, Cymbalta, or Effexor XR. Accepts drug names (brand or generic), symptom terms, or UMLS CUIs.

PsyTAR Query Skill
891 patient reviews → 6 009 annotated sentences → extracted ADR / WD / SSI /
DI entities → mapped to 918 UMLS + 755 SNOMED CT concepts.
Entity Detection & Routing
| Input Pattern | Detected As | Targets |
|---|
C0917801 | UMLS CUI | *_Mapped sheets only (UMLS1/UMLS2 cols) |
Zoloft / sertraline | Drug name | drug_id or drug columns (alias-aware) |
nausea, insomnia … | Free text | substring across all cell values |
Generic ↔ brand aliases: sertraline↔Zoloft, escitalopram↔Lexapro,
duloxetine↔Cymbalta, venlafaxine↔Effexor.
API
| Function | Input | Returns |
|---|
search(entity, sheet?, label?) | single string | {sheet: [row_dict]} |
search_batch(entities, sheet?, label?) | list of strings | {entity: {sheet: [row_dict]}} |
summarize(results, entity) | result dict + label | compact text |
to_json(results) | result dict | list[dict] (flat, adds _sheet) |
describe() | — | dataset overview text |
Parameters
sheet — restrict to one sheet (fuzzy-matched: "ADR" → ADR_Identified).
label — when on Sentence_Labeling, keep only rows where the named
label column (ADR / WD / EF / INF / SSI / DI) equals 1.
Sheet Schema
| Sheet | Description | Key Columns |
|---|
Sample | Original posts | drug_id, rating, indication, side-effect, comment, gender, age, duration |
Sentence_Labeling | 6 009 sentences, binary labels | drug_id, sentence_index, sentences, ADR, WD, EF, INF, SSI, DI, Findings, others, rating, category |
ADR_Identified | Extracted ADR mentions | drug_id, sentence_index, sentences, ADR1 … ADRn |
WD_Identified | Extracted WD mentions | drug_id, sentence_index, sentences, WD1 … WDn |
SSI_Identified | Extracted SSI mentions | drug_id, sentence_index, sentences, SSI1 … SSIn |
DI_Identified | Extracted DI mentions | drug_id, sentence_index, sentences, DI1 … DIn |
ADR_Mapped | ADR → UMLS/SNOMED | drug_id, sentence_index, ADR/ADRs, UMLS1, UMLS2, SNOMED-CT, mild, moderate, severe, persistent, not-persistent, body-site, rating, drug, class, type, entity_type |
WD_Mapped | WD → UMLS/SNOMED | (same structure as ADR_Mapped) |
SSI_Mapped | SSI → UMLS/SNOMED | (same structure) |
DI_Mapped | DI → UMLS/SNOMED | (same structure) |
Mapped-sheet qualifier columns
mild, moderate, severe — severity descriptors;
persistent, not-persistent — duration; body-site — anatomical site;
entity_type — Cognitive / Physiological / Psychological / Functional.
Usage
from importlib.machinery import SourceFileLoader
m = SourceFileLoader("psytar", "36_PSYTAR.py").load_module()
print(m.describe())
res = m.search("Zoloft", sheet="ADR_Mapped")
print(m.summarize(res, "Zoloft"))
res = m.search("sertraline", sheet="ADR_Mapped")
res = m.search("nausea", sheet="ADR_Identified")
res = m.search("insomnia")
res = m.search("C0917801")
res = m.search("Effexor", sheet="Sentence_Labeling", label="WD")
batch = m.search_batch(["Lexapro", "insomnia", "C0917801"])
flat = m.to_json(m.search("Cymbalta"))
