These records were newly returned by our standing PubMed and Crossref queries in the week ending 8 August 2026. They are listed as indexed — publication type, journal and identifier — with a link to the original. We have not summarised or interpreted them here; where one changes what a page on this site says, that page is updated and its date changes.

How to read this

• Publication type is the fastest quality signal. A meta-analysis or clinical guideline outranks a single trial, which outranks an observational study.
• New does not mean better. A 2026 paper does not supersede a 2021 meta-analysis pooling forty trials.
• Appearing here is not endorsement. These matched a search query. We have not assessed them.
• Follow the link. Every entry resolves to a real PubMed record or DOI.
