Tools for sentiment analysis that have been vetted on pubmed abstracts

Is anyone aware of tools or manuscripts discussing the use of sentiment analysis on the title and abstract fields of research articles indexed by Pubmed?

I ran some more generic SA tools, but sanity checking of the results produced appeared to identify a skew towards calling the tone positive when it was actually netural.

Thank you!

Not sure that helps but there is beautiful recent research on NLP analysis of pubmed abstracts: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.04.10.536208v2 they also have interactive website: https://static.nomic.ai/pubmed.html , and youtube video: https://youtu.be/A2HmdO8cApw (start with that timestamp) and "twittorial":
