Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We used two-step Mendelian randomization to investigate the inflammatory mediators underlying the effects of cigarette smoking on palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). We first examined the causal effects of smoking on plasma cytokine levels and then those of smoking-associated cytokines on PPP risk. We identified OX40 as potential mediator of the effects of smoking on PPP.

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 distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
