Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Case reports represent the earliest form of scientific literature to identify and describe adverse events (AEs) associated with medical interventions, and they still represent important educational resources for ensuring the safe practice of such interventions. Although case reports on AEs related to acupuncture continue to be published, detailed information about the acupuncture procedure is often insufficiently reported in these studies, which may introduce an overstatement or exaggeration of the harm of acupuncture. Consequently, these reports fall short of evaluating causality and achieving the educational purpose of preventing future AEs. To help address these limitations, we developed the "REporting guidelines for aCupuncture-related AdverSe Event case reports" (RECASE) based on the CARE (CAse REports) reporting guidelines for case reports using the expert Delphi methodology. This guideline contains essential items for case reports on acupuncture-related AEs. We anticipate that this reporting guideline will encourage greater transparency, fairness, and comprehensiveness in future case reports on acupuncture-related AEs.

Not 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.
