<i>BMJ</i> and <i>Lancet</i> rank among the most clinically relevant medical journals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A small number of general, broad interest journals contain the most clinically relevant information for doctors, according to a major review. The review was conducted by a group at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario. The Health Information Research Unit of the university's Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics publishes several secondary “evidence-based” journals. In 2,000 the unit prepared ACP Journal Club ( ACP J Club ) to support internal medicine and Evidence-Based Medicine ( EBM ) to support general and family practice. The authors of the review found that four journals ( New England Journal of Medicine , JAMA , Lancet and the Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews ) provided 56.5% of the content for the internal medicine review journal ACP Journal Club …

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
