Four months of rifampicin for tuberculosis prevention treatment in children
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have read with interest the systematic review by Santos et al. in the Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy [ [1] Santos J.M. Fachi M.M. Beraldi-Magalhães F. Böger B. Junker A.M. Domingos E.L. et al. Systematic review with network meta-analysis on the treatments for latent tuberculosis infection in children and adolescents. J Infect Chemother. 2022 Sep 6; 12 (PMID: 36075488, S1341-321X(22)00249-5, In this issue): 1645-1653https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jiac.2022.08.023 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (4) Google Scholar ]. We congratulate the authors for the choice of their subject. Children exposed to tuberculosis are at high risk for the disease and preventive tuberculosis treatment (TPT) of contact children is a high priority for the United Nations [ [2] United NationsPolitical Declaration of the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting. https://www.who.int/tb/unhlmonTBDeclaration.pdf Google Scholar ] and the World Health Organization [ [3] WHOWHO consolidated guidelines on tuberculosis: module 1: prevention: tuberculosis preventive treatment. https://www.who.int/publications-detail-redirect/who-consolidated-guidelines-on-tuberculosis-module-1-prevention-tuberculosis-preventive-treatment Google Scholar ]. However, we are very concerned by the methods and conclusions of their systematic review.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
