Why is this work in the frame?

A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

Canadian affiliationAn author listed a Canadian institution. This is the only route the usual frame has.

Full frame distilled prediction

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)

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.

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.

Abstract

Recurrence of diarrhea following initially successful treatmentis a major shortcoming in the treatment of Clostridium diffi-cile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). Sustained response is a clinical endpoint proposed to account for differences among treatment agents with respect to a combination of initial response/cure and recurrence. Until recently, vancomycin was the only FDA-approved treat-ment for C. difficile infection (CDI). Treatment guidelines have recommended metronidazole for a first occurrence of nonsevere CDI and for a first relapse or reinfection (2, 3, 4). Vancomycin and metronidazole are both effective in providing initial response, with85 % cure rates, but 20 to 40 % of patients whose symptoms resolve have recurrent disease caused by relapse of the original infection or reinfection from external sources (2, 3, 4). In parallel with changes in strain prevalence and severity of disease, clinical response rates have changed with metronidazole during the last
