summary

About 26% of people searching health info hit paywalls, articles cost about $32 each, and publishers have raised prices over 250%. A Java standalone called Fact Extractor converts local PDF papers to condensed statements and uploads them to the public MediaWiki at factpub.org without distributing full texts. It processes roughly 30 seconds per paper; the project has ingested ~3,000 papers. User validation of 556 sentences by nine reviewers rates ~70% of extracted facts as meaningful; many verbs and context still need improvement.
