Abstract
P S Aisen Dr P S Aisen, University of California, San Diego, CA, USA; paisen@ucsd.edu Do high-dose vitamin B supplements reduce rate of cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD)? ### Design: randomised placebo controlled trial. Clinicaltrials.gov NCT00056225. ### Allocation: {concealed}.* ### Blinding: blinded (patients, caregivers, clinicians, and psychometrists). ### Follow-up period: every 3 months up to 18 months. ### Setting: 40 centres in the USA. ### Patients: 409 patients >50 years of age (mean age 76 y, 56% women), who had probable AD, scored 14–26 on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and were medically stable. Exclusion criteria were vitamin B12 concentrations <129 pmol/l (175 pg/ml), folate concentrations <9.5 nmol/l (4.2 ng/ml), renal insufficiency (serum creatinine ⩾176.8 µmol/l [2.0 …

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
