Abstract
<b>Aim:</b> We analyzed the 100 most-cited articles on all anti-diabetic drugs. A comprehensive literature review found no bibliometrics on this. <b>Methods:</b> Two researchers independently extracted articles from Scopus and ranked them by citation count as the ‘top 100 most-cited’. <b>Results:</b> The median number of citations is 1385.5. Most articles are from the USA (n = 59). Insulin has the most papers (n = 24). Majority (n = 76) were privately funded and contained at least one conflict of interest (n = 66). The New England Journal of Medicine has the most publications (n = 44). Male authors made majority of both first and last authorship positions. <b>Conclusion:</b> This study aims to aid in directing future research and in reducing biases. The 100 most cited anti-diabetic original articles were published between 1971–2022 from a total of 46 nations. The highest frequency of articles occurred between 2006–2010 (n = 27). The median number of citations was 1385.5, ranging from 774 to 22,496. Authors from 46 nations contributed to this list; however, more than half of these articles were from the USA (n = 59), followed by the UK (n = 31) and Canada (n = 24). Insulin had the most papers published (n = 24). <i>The New England Journal of Medicine</i> (n = 44) and <i>The Lancet</i> (n = 18) have contributed most to the publications. The analysis also highlighted a gender disparity in first and senior authorship positions, with male authors predominating in anti-diabetic research. Most articles (n = 76) were funded privately, followed by publicly funded (n = 49). The average number of authors with a conflict of interest was 5.23, and 66/100 publications contained at least one.

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 it
