Why this work is in the frame

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

aboutThe title or abstract carries a Canadian signal from the geographic lexicon.
no affNo Canadian affiliation: this work is invisible to an affiliation-only frame.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame, the usual design, would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.

Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Purpose. Data are provided from the Combigan Early Experience Data (CEED) study, which evaluated patients’ clinical experience of using Combigan ® in a real-life setting. Methods. CEED was a Canadian open-label, prospective 2-month surveillance trial involving 47 investigators and 453 patients. Primary outcomes were intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction and patient satisfaction. Adverse events and doctor satisfaction were secondary outcomes. Most patients were aged over 50, with 82% white, and nearly 90% had open-angle glaucoma. Combigan was used either as a replacement of, or an addition to, the patients’ existing therapy. Results. Switching to, or adding, Combigan to existing glaucoma therapy led to an additional reduction in IOP of 3.8 mmHg, and 70% of patients achieved IOP ≤18. mmHg compared with 31% at baseline. There was an additional reduction in IOP of almost 3 mmHg in patients switched from Cosopt to Combigan and the proportion of eyes achieving an IOP ≤18 mmHg more than doubled in these patients. Altogether, 92% of patients who switched from Cosopt alone to Combigan alone rated Combigan as more comfortable; 98% of doctors rated Combigan as good or excellent compared with other IOP-lowering medications. Conclusions. Combigan effectively lowered IOP over the 2-month trial, and the findings suggest that it is as effective as, or more effective than, Cosopt.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
