Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

(See the Editorial Commentary by MacLean and Dendukuri on pages e2285–6.) After being infected by the tuberculosis bacteria, a relatively small proportion of people will go on to develop active tuberculosis. Without accurate diagnosis and timely treatment, these individuals risk suffering tuberculosis-related morbidity, further spreading tuberculosis in their communities, and even death [1]. Among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV), the rate of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) progression to active disease is about 20 times higher than in seronegative individuals. Because tuberculosis is a leading cause of mortality in PLHIV, early detection...

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.

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.
