Topics with zero 8+ articles this run: None (all zero-HIGH streaks broken today) ✅


🔧 RUN NOTES

  1. T2 (CBC/ML) zero-signal: Query refined per 2026-06-16 notes (omit 'peripheral blood', add 'blood smear morphology', 'hematology analyzer', 'leukocyte differential'). Still returned 0 results. This is now a 2-day zero-signal streak with the refined query. Recommendation: consider broader AI+hematology search without strict CBC specificity, or check preprint servers (bioRxiv/medRxiv).

  2. T7 zero-HIGH streak broken (day 6): Refined query with outcomes/randomized filter successfully reduced aesthetic surgery noise. Strong GLP-1/tirzepatide body composition NMA found.

  3. T8 zero-HIGH streak broken (day 7): humans[MeSH] filter confirmed effective. Two HIGH articles identified: Neurology (cognitive aging) and PNAS (aging transcriptomics). Both continue to validate filter approach.

  4. High de-duplication day: PMID 42303978 matched T1, T3, T5, T6 simultaneously — maintained as single record. Similar overlaps for 42302353 (T1+T6) and 42302964 (T1+T9). Total unique high-signal articles = 8 (after dedup).

  5. Alert cap applied: 5 article alerts sent (cap per pipeline rules). Three additional HIGH articles (TR-006 Super Movers/Neurology, TR-007 GLP-1 NMA, TR-008 MAPLE cfDNA) are included in Output A but not alerted.

  6. Query refinement progress:

    • T7 refined query: ✅ effective (outcomes/trial filter reduced noise)
    • T8 humans[MeSH]: ✅ effective (28 results vs 56 raw before filter)
    • T2 refined query: ❌ still zero — further action needed
  7. Action items for next run:

    • T2: Consider adding bioRxiv/medRxiv preprint scan OR broader "hematology + AI" query
    • PMID 42303978 (MEN1 cfDNA): Monitor for full abstract becoming available — classified from metadata only
    • T5/T6 overlap: Consider query deduplication at search level to reduce redundant review burden
