Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) is commonly used to stimulate healing of tibial fractures. One-fifth of Canadian trauma surgeons sometimes use it (Busse et el. 2008). Still, it apparently does not work. A recent multicenter, blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial involving 501 reamed and nailed tibial fractures showed no effect (Busse et al. 2016). It was published in the BMJ together with an editorial that gave the impression that this treatment is now finally out (Griffin 2016). This contrasts with the pioneering multicenter randomized trial that showed a reduction in healing time for unoperated tibial fractures of about one-third (Heckman et al. 1994). This early study was regarded as being of the highest methodological quality at the time, but nowadays it is noted that 3 of the 5 authors had an economic interest in the result (Griffin et al. 2012). So which study was correct?

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
