To infinity and beyond: A historical bibliometric analysis of medullary thyroid carcinoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: We performed a bibliometric study to identify the most-cited publications in MTC research and demonstrate how they highlight the most important historical developments in this area. METHODS: Bibliometric data from papers published on the topic of MTC until December 31, 2022 was extracted from the Web of Science database. Analysis was performed utilizing Bibliometrix and VOSViewer software. RESULTS: There has been a gradual increase in the number of publications on the topic of MTC over the years. The most cited publications focused on the underlying genetic basis for MTC, the use of targetted therapy, and guidelines. Recent research frontiers have focused on management, guidelines, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. CONCLUSION: Bibliometric study of the topic of MTC has allowed for identification, characterization and appreciation of many of the key historical developments in this field. Bibliometric analysis can also be helpful in identifying research frontiers.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

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, unvalidatedLabeled directly by 2 models reading the full record.
The models disagree on parts of this classification; every voice is preserved in the section at the end of the page.
