Does Spinal Manipulative Therapy Impact the Immune System? A Rapid Review of the Literature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This is a protocol for a rapid review of the literature, using WHO Rapid Review Methods, to investigate the the impact of spinal manipulation on the immune system. Principal investigator: Pierre Côté, Faculty of Health Sciences and Centre for Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation at Ontario Tech University and CMCC, Ontario Tech University, Faculty of Health Sciences, 2000 Simcoe St N, Oshawa, ON L1G 0C5 Review team members: Pierre Côté, Carol Cancelliere, Silvano Mior, Ngai Chow, Anne Taylor-Vaisey, Stephen Injeyan, Julita Teodorczyk-Injeyan, J.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
