    Revisiting the guidelines for ending isolation for COVID-19 patients

    Yong Dam Jeong, Keisuke Ejima ... Marco Ajelli
    Compared with the approach isolating COVID-19 patients for a fixed period, the approach using repeated PCR testing mitigates unnecessarily lengthy isolation of patients while minimizing the risk of further transmission.

    Estimates of the global burden of Japanese encephalitis and the impact of vaccination from 2000-2015

    Tran Minh Quan, Tran Thi Nhu Thao ... Hannah Clapham
    Modelling analysis reveals the burden of Japanese Encephalitis is greater than previously thought, and although vaccination has reduced burden, there are remaining places with a great need for vaccination.

    Meta-Research: Incidences of problematic cell lines are lower in papers that use RRIDs to identify cell lines

    Zeljana Babic, Amanda Capes-Davis ... Anita E Bandrowski
    The use of Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) improves the proper use of cell lines in the biomedical literature.

    The impact of lag time to cancer diagnosis and treatment on clinical outcomes prior to the COVID-19 pandemic: A scoping review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses

    Parker Tope, Eliya Farah ... Eduardo L Franco
    Investigating standard lag times prior to the pandemic and identifying key methodological considerations in lag time research can guide future investigations into the impact of time to care for patients with cancer.

    Meta-analysis challenges a textbook example of status signalling and demonstrates publication bias

    Alfredo Sánchez-Tójar, Shinichi Nakagawa ... Julia Schroeder
    Meta-analysis takes down a textbook example in behavioural and evolutionary ecology, and demonstrates the existence of biases in the current scientific publishing culture.
  1. Meta-Research: The growth of acronyms in the scientific literature

    Adrian Barnett, Zoe Doubleday
    A study of 24 million articles has revealed that scientists have created more than 1 million acronyms since 1950, most of which have been used fewer than 10 times.

    Landscape drives zoonotic malaria prevalence in non-human primates

    Emilia Johnson, Reuben Sunil Kumar Sharma ... Kimberly Fornace
    Regional meta-analysis enriches our understanding of zoonotic malaria in primate reservoirs in areas of Southeast Asia experiencing deforestation, with wider ecological implications for human disease risk in fragmented landscapes.

    Resource allocation accounts for the large variability of rate-yield phenotypes across bacterial strains

    Valentina Baldazzi, Delphine Ropers ... Hidde de Jong
    A coarse-grained model of microbial growth coupling fluxes of carbon and energy shows that resource allocation is a major explanatory factor of the observed variability of growth rates and growth yields across different bacterial strains.
