Abstract
Myocardial fibrosis is the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and fibronectin, and its clinical diagnosis is always with limitations. Recently, PICP and PIIINP have been reported by several studies as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of myocardial fibrosis, however, no meta-analyses focusing on the diagnostic values of these biomarkers have been conducted. So, the present study aimed to investigate the clinical diagnostic value of PICP and PIIINP in myocardial fibrosis patients. Based on the inclusion criteria, 1130 records were identified from four databases, and 12 studies were included eventually after independent screening. All 12 studies were high quality with the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) values ≥7. The results of the present meta-analysis indicated that patients with myocardial fibrosis revealed significantly elevated serum PICP (standard mean difference [SMD] = 0.90, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 0.40 to 1.40) and PIIINP (SMD = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.04 to 1.23). Therefore, we believe that PICP and PIIINP could be used as potential auxiliary biomarkers in the clinical diagnosis of myocardial fibrosis. This article is protected by copyright.

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 it
