Reanalysis of non-occupational exposure to asbestos and the risk of pleural mesothelioma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Marsh and colleagues1 have published a review and meta-analysis of non-occupational exposure to asbestos and the risk of pleural mesothelioma. They confirmed that non-occupational exposures to asbestos fibres are associated with a large increased risk of pleural mesothelioma and reported a fibre-type potency difference for non-occupational exposures. A major problem with assessing fibre-type differences is the very few studies in which fibre type can be unambiguously identified. Given the paucity of studies, it is important to have data from the most recent studies with the largest number of cases. Marsh used PubMed to locate relevant studies. Of the four chrysotile studies they identified, there were one each from Egypt2 and France3 and two …

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.
