I found LLMs already made very good anki cards, pls come and enlight me if you disagree so, thx

[krstoevan]

Hi,

let me use an example text for mgt of endometrial hyperplasia.

the text is at bottom.

i asked chatgpt to make anki cards for me, and output as markdown codes in q and a format, so when i paste into mindmanager, it’s already in a parent-child format. I myself have a further macro to make this into anki thru ankiconnect. but let’s concentrate on the card’s quality.

it made quite many cards, some are not very significant/meaningful for medical students. for those that likely useful for exam, i highlighted them with a thumb.

chatgpt by default output 10-20 cards, depending on the text size you give it.
if you think it’s making too little, you can say not all content is used, ask it to make more (and repeat if you still want more).

there are many PDF-> anki service on web,
but most of them ask you to upload PDF of a whole BOOK.

for me, i work with 1 page of text each time, and i wanna tailor made the cards, so i do this way.

comments suggestions are appreciated. thanks

original text:

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS ●Choice of treatment – Endometrial hyperplasia (EH) is categorized into two groups: EH without atypia and EH with atypia (also referred to as endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia [EIN]). EH may progress to, or coexist with, endometrial carcinoma. The choice of treatment (observation, progestin therapy, or hysterectomy) is based on several factors: type of EH (with or without atypia), menopausal status, desire for fertility, contraceptive needs, and risk factors present (table 2). (See ‘Introduction’ above and ‘Goal of management’ above.) ●EH without atypia – Untreated EH without atypia has a risk of progression to malignancy of approximately 10 percent or less over 20 years. (See ‘Natural history’ above.) •For most patients with EH without atypia, we suggest progestin therapy with endometrial sampling rather than hysterectomy (Grade 2C) (algorithm 1 and algorithm 2). Treatment with progestin therapy reduces the risk of progression to endometrial carcinoma to approximately 2 percent at 10 years. Observation is a reasonable alternative for premenopausal patients who have no risk factors for endometrial carcinoma (table 2) and/or who have contraindications to progestins. For postmenopausal patients with endometrial carcinoma risk factors and/or contraindications to progestins, we discuss surgical management with hysterectomy for definitive management. (See ‘Alternate for patients at low risk of progression: Observation’ above and ‘Preferred: Medical or surgical treatment’ above.) ●EH with atypia – Untreated EH with atypia has a risk of progression to endometrial carcinoma of up to 40 percent over 20 years, and coexistent endometrial carcinoma may be present in up to 40 percent of these patients. (See ‘Natural history’ above.) •For patients with EH with atypia who are postmenopausal or who are premenopausal and have completed childbearing, we recommend hysterectomy rather than progestin therapy with endometrial sampling (Grade 1B) (algorithm 4 and algorithm 3). •For premenopausal patients with EH with atypia who wish to preserve fertility, we suggest progestin therapy with endometrial sampling rather than hysterectomy (Grade 2B) (algorithm 4). (See ‘Preferred treatment: Hysterectomy’ above and ‘Alternate treatment: Progestin therapy’ above.) •For most patients undergoing hysterectomy as treatment for EH with atypia, we suggest hysterectomy without bilateral oophorectomy rather than with bilateral oophorectomy (Grade 2C). (See ‘Role of oophorectomy and salpingectomy’ above.) ●Progestin therapy – Common progestin treatments for EH (any type) include the levonorgestrel (LNG)-releasing intrauterine device (IUD [LNG 52 mg; Mirena, Liletta]), oral megestrol acetate, or oral medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA (table 3)). Combined oral estrogen-progestin contraceptives (COCs) have not been well studied for EH treatment but are an option for some premenopausal patients. (See ‘Progestin therapy’ above.) •For most patients with EH (with or without atypia) undergoing medical management, we suggest the LNG 52 mg rather than systemic progestins (oral, intramural, subcutaneous, or transdermal (Grade 2B)). Studies have demonstrated that the LNG 52 mg compared with oral progestins for the treatment of EH is associated with higher regression rates and lower relapse rates. (See ‘Evidence of the efficacy of progestin therapy’ above and ‘Evidence of the efficacy of progestin therapy’ above and ‘Choice of progestin’ above.)

for those who found the full text contains too much bulky text,
i could also ask chatgpt to help:

however some text are mis-placed, so need human drag drop to bring it back to the format.

below is the original markdown code.

I think the main problem here is you need to understand the text before reviewing the cards.

Effective Spaced Repetition

[krstoevan]

I found those thumbed cards quite good and i am happy with them.

do you mean they can be improved?

as i have shown the original full text and a concise mindmap of it,
it would be nice if someone could show me (just several examples) how those thumed cards could be improved?

thank you.

if i dont know how it can be improved, i cant tune the LLMs to output that improvement.

[sorata]

I think he meant you need to understand the subject before you try to memorise anything related to it. This is also covered in the Anki Manual.

[DerIshmaelite]

Can you make Anki use flowcharts from ChatGPT and make it editable inside the editor while also allowing cloze cards to be made from these branching flowcharts? If so, how That would be a really helpful feature for me as I would like to use combined with images as well

I am a medical student and making such flowcharts inside Anki, where each branch can be turned into a cloze card, would be helpful for visualization and memorization.

[krstoevan]

some how different,
sometimes i think when the LLMs made into anki cards, it gave me some structure of the large bulk of text.

but ofcoz i think that depends on person, and depend on the text.

[krstoevan]

how do you use flowcharts with chatgpt? there are many ways.

[ferophila]

What would prevent me from enjoying the review of these cards: They lack images you find particular interesting, mnemonics, context and examples.

Creating cards encompassing these features is a major step for successful learning as you have to think about the note content.

It might seem like wasting time, but it is actually time well spent.

[DerIshmaelite]

I could theoretically ask ChatGPT to make flow charts just like you did. The only problem is that I cant seem to find a way which allows for the copying of the flowchart in a format which is compatible with Anki without it being distorted in some form.

I just want to be have the flowchart be imported into Anki without (or at least some minimal distortion) while ALSO allowing me to make cloze cards out of each branch as if it were normal text in the card editor.

[DerIshmaelite]

Yes. If there is a way to import these flowcharts with their branches and text into Anki without distortion while also allowing for the addition of images…that would be revolutionary for my purpose.

[krstoevan]

there once is an addon, that will incorporate google search photos into the cards.

however i dont have time/it’s not working.

otherwise it will help me automatically making cards like ask me what diagnosis is a ECG chart.

[krstoevan]

you should think FIRST how ANKI support it, and then SECONDLY think how to make it from Chatgpt.

you reversed the order.

[DerIshmaelite]

Yeah…and how exactly does Anki support it…or what does it even support is basically what I am asking. I know the problem lies in the compatibility of Anki.
