Comparative impacts and cost-effectiveness of tuberculosis systematic screening strategies in prisons in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru: A mathematical modeling study

In a mathematical modeling study, Yiran Liu and colleagues demonstrate that screening for tuberculosis (TB) in prisons in Peru, Colombia and Brazil at entry and exit and biannually is predicted to have a substantial impact on TB incidence in both the prison and general populations.

The data transparency crisis in research: Lessons from systematic reviews and meta-analyses

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses underpin clinical guidelines and policies, yet their validity may be compromised by limited access to underlying datasets and associated analytical code. This Policy Forum by Saul Martin-Rodriguez and colleagues argues for strengthening enforceable data-sharing mechanisms, including clearer enforcement and pragmatic verification approaches within editorial workflows.

Placenta accreta spectrum in the 21st century: Challenging dogma and redefining disorder

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a serious pregnancy complication caused by abnormal placental attachment to the uterus. In this Perspective, Eric Jauniaux and colleagues discuss recent evidence that challenges our pathophysiological understanding of PAS, and argue that a critical reassessment of definition, diagnosis, and management is overdue.​

Sequential chemo-immunotherapy followed by standard versus reduced thoracic radiotherapy for older and/or frail stage III non-small-cell lung cancer: A randomized open-label cohort trial

In a randomized open-label trial, Wei-Xiang Qi and colleagues investigate the feasibility of dose-reduced thoracic radiotherapy to mitigate treatment related toxicities while preserving oncological outcomes in older patients with Stage III Non-small-cell Lung Cancer.
