Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The traditional view of psychologic treatments and their efficacy for treating primary hypertension is that they may be of some benefit for borderline hypertension and that they can be potentially useful adjuncts to medical treatment. This review challenges such cautious conclusions by critically analyzing previous reviews and by also considering innovative, newer clinical trials. One reason for cautious conclusions has been selective reviewing and a lack of well-designed trials. Measurement and study protocol differences as well as differences in treatment modality have all been shown to have major effects on observed outcomes. Studies that promise better results have the following characteristics: 1) use of 24-hour ambulatory monitoring as an end point to rule out white coat hypertension that does not need treatment in the first place; 2) inclusion of patients with truly elevated blood pressure at pretreatment; and 3) multicomponent treatments that are tailored to individual patient needs.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
