The authors conclude that the application of an insulin sliding scale that fails to consistently maintain blood glucose levels between 4.4 and 5.6 mmol/L (80 and 100 mg/dL) does not reduce mortality or morbidity in nondiabetic and diabetic patients after a variety of cardiac procedures. An increased incidence of death and stroke in the treatment group prompted the authors to caution against the routine use of insulin therapy during cardiac surgery.Several aspects ...References1.

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.
