A large Web of Science network analysis finds that China's high share of domestic citations is substantially explained by publication scale, while its relative home bias has declined and its research disruption has moved closer to Western levels.

A systematic review found no clear excess of side effects when intrathecal immune checkpoint inhibitors were added to systemic treatment for leptomeningeal disease, while survival differences remained uncertain.

Researchers found a scattered set of genetic candidates, while warning that the evidence is too limited to identify a definitive cause.

A review of treatments for symptomatic vaginal laxity supports pelvic floor muscle training as first-line, while finding low-certainty evidence for radiofrequency devices and very low-certainty evidence from surgical cohorts.

The review found myelitis and optic neuritis were the leading reported presentations, while corticosteroids and treatment discontinuation were common and favorable outcomes were reported in 71.7% of cases. Because the evidence came from published case reports and case series, it does not estimate incidence or compare treatments.

A systematic review of six randomized trials involving 105 participants found that most studies reported gains in comprehension, word processing and language performance, but differences between trials limited direct comparisons.

The evidence points to several ways complement regulators may help glioma cells avoid immune attack and support proliferation, invasion or treatment resistance, while leaving clinical benefit unproven.

A systematic review found that vascular graft and endograft infections after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair were uncommon but relevant complications. Its pooled incidence estimate was lower after EVAR than open surgery, but wide variation in diagnostic criteria and limited microbiological data for OS make the comparison harder to interpret.

A Dutch preprint reports lower right-wing vote shares in more exposed neighbourhoods, alongside a density-linked pattern and signs of a possible reversal at higher exposure.

A model of random hypergraphs found that the (2, 2) core could emerge gradually at low anchor probability but jump abruptly at high anchor probability. The same pattern appeared under second-neighbor pruning, while stronger connectivity requirements were associated with denser hypergraphs.

A modeling study combining equations, simulations and biological network data finds that redundant directed-network cores appear at the same predicted failure threshold as connected cores, but grow more slowly.

A Chilean analysis suggests that a power-law-like pattern in pooled human travel may arise from mixing different spatial scales of movement rather than from a scale-free rule shared by individuals.

A new preprint argues that dark matter research needs stronger guiding principles and ranks sterile neutrinos ahead of axions, supersymmetric WIMPs and primordial black holes.

A computer model found that cooperation could persist up to a threshold before giving way abruptly to defection. The result concerns synthetic agents in a stylized setup, not direct evidence about human or animal behaviour.

An arXiv preprint models dengue emergence across 1,200 European regional patches under climate, mobility, importation and migration scenarios. It finds large increases in a comparative risk indicator, but the figures are not observed case forecasts.

The paper models a hypothetical post-AGI economy in which corporations own machine agents and energy-capture capacity. It argues that production and demand can close within the corporate system even when human consumption is zero, while human welfare can separate from GDP as ownership claims shrink.
