Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

“It is now the standard of care that every postmenopausal woman be given replacement hormones for the rest of her life unless there is a medical reason not to; to practise otherwise may be considered malpractice.” These words, passionately spoken at a 2001 medical education conference by a foremost authority on women's health, left some listeners feeling uneasy. Unable to find randomised controlled trials that validated the presumed benefits of long term hormone replacement therapy (HRT), we concluded that HRT for disease prevention represented an experiment on women. Today, two years after the release of the results of the women's health initiative study showing that HRT has more potential for harm than for good in healthy postmenopausal women taking a combination of oestrogen and progestogen to prevent chronic disease, the questions of 2001 remain relevant. Do individual doctors have the freedom to critically …

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.
