Plasma Exchange in Patients With ANCA-Associated Vasculitis: A #NephJC Editorial on a comPLEX Question
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a devastating form of systemic vasculitis that can result in kidney failure, superadded infection, and death.1-3 Plasma exchange (PLEX) for treating AAV was established based on biological plausibility and small clinical trials conducted in the 1980s-1990s. Its role was further cemented in 2007 when Jayne et al4 recruited 137 patients with severe AAV (serum creatinine>500μmol/L [5.7mg/dL]) and demonstrated higher rates of independence from dialysis at 3 months for those who received PLEX compared to those who received induction with intravenous methylprednisolone (MEPEX).
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 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.
