Bibliographic record
Abstract
Shumaker S, Legault C, Rapp S et al. Estrogen plus progestin and the incidence of dementia and mild cognitive impairment in postmenopausal women: the women’s health initiative memory study: a randomized controlled trial. JAMA2003 ; 289 : 2651 –2661 [OpenUrl][1][CrossRef][2][PubMed][3][Web of Science][4] QUESTION: Does oestrogen plus progestin increase the risk of dementia or mild cognitive impairment among post-menopausal women? Randomised double blind placebo controlled trial. 39 Women’s Health Initiative Clinical Centres, USA; May 1996 to December 1999. 4532 post-menopausal women aged at least 65 years and free of dementia at study entry. 0.625 mg of conjugated equine oestrogen plus 2.5 mg of medroxyprogesterone acetate (hormone therapy group), or placebo. Dementia or mild cognitive impairment according to DSM-IV criteria. Clinical assessment of dementia or mild cognitive impairment was assessed by an approved clinician using a structured protocol. Hormone therapy significantly increased the risk of dementia compared with placebo after a mean follow up of about … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DJAMA%26rft.stitle%253DJAMA%26rft.aulast%253DShumaker%26rft.auinit1%253DS.%2BA.%26rft.volume%253D289%26rft.issue%253D20%26rft.spage%253D2651%26rft.epage%253D2662%26rft.atitle%253DEstrogen%2BPlus%2BProgestin%2Band%2Bthe%2BIncidence%2Bof%2BDementia%2Band%2BMild%2BCognitive%2BImpairment%2Bin%2BPostmenopausal%2BWomen%253A%2BThe%2BWomen%2527s%2BHealth%2BInitiative%2BMemory%2BStudy%253A%2BA%2BRandomized%2BControlled%2BTrial%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1001%252Fjama.289.20.2651%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F12771112%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=10.1001/jama.289.20.2651&link_type=DOI [3]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=12771112&link_type=MED&atom=%2Febmental%2F6%2F4%2F111.atom [4]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=000183075600024&link_type=ISI

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
