ALT Graphs from the Original Article "Atorvastatin, Cardiovascular Events, and Disability-free Survival in Older Adults." The trial name, STAREE, is in parentheses after the title. The graphs show the cumulative incidence of primary end-point events (death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction or stroke, or coronary revascularization, whichever occurred first). The trial results are being presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2026. The logo of the New England Journal of Medicine is at the bottom.

ALT A illustration showing anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation with intermediate stroke risk. On the left, a medicine box labeled "Anticoagulant Tablets" with two pills is shown. In the center, a silhouette of a patient with a highlighted heart. Above, a round inset displays a heart rate monitor graph representing atrial fibrillation. To the right, a brain is depicted with an inset showing a blood vessel and a warning symbol, representing intermediate stroke risk.

ALT Four graphs show the summary of efficacy end points up to week 12. Panel A shows the values on the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT), which range from 0 to 40 minutes (normal ability to stay awake, ≥20 [black dashed line]). Panel B shows the total scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), which range from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater daytime sleepiness (normal, ≤10 [black dashed line]). Panel C shows the weekly cataplexy rate, which includes both partial and full cataplexy events. Panel D shows the total scores on the Narcolepsy Severity Scale for Clinical Trials (NSS-CT), which range from 0 to 57, with scores of 0 to 14 indicating mild narcolepsy symptoms, 15 to 28 moderate symptoms, 29 to 42 severe symptoms, and 43 to 57 very severe symptoms; the black dashed lines indicate the thresholds for the different levels of symptom severity.

ALT A quote from a Perspective published in the New England Journal of Medicine reads as follows: "Signs of another pendulum swing in Americans’ relationship with biomedical science and with scientific and public health elites may already be emerging." The Perspective is titled "The End of the War on Biomedical Science?" and the authors are David Blumenthal, M.D., M.P.P., and James A. Morone, Ph.D. The background color is orange and includes the NEJM identity.

ALT A graph showing the cumulative incidence of hematologic complications in patients with Shwachman–Diamond syndrome, including myelodysplastic syndromes, acute myeloid leukemia, severe bone marrow failure, and hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation indications.

ALT A table showing the evaluation of the effectiveness of lung cancer screening methods. The first column lists screening method, including low‑dose computed tomography and chest radiography with or without cytologic examination of sputum. For each method, there is body of evidence reviewed and classification for reduction in lung cancer mortality and incidence of stage III or IV lung cancer.

ALT A table showing the role of emerging tools to enhance lung cancer screening. It lists various tools and their roles, including AI-assisted image reading, molecular biomarkers, and virtual shared decision-making tools. Columns indicate specific functions such as assist with screening uptake and tailor screening interval, with "Yes" or "No" answers.

ALT This image consists of CT images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Panel A: A contrast-enhanced image of the chest shows a stable pulmonary nodule in the right middle lobe (circle), a finding compatible with known pulmonary metastatic disease. Panel B: A contrast-enhanced image of the abdomen and pelvis shows decreased attenuation throughout the liver (arrow) as compared with the spleen (asterisk), a finding compatible with hepatic steatosis.

ALT This image consists of initial MRI of the head. A T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) image (Panel A), a diffusion-weighted image (Panel B), and a T1-weighted contrast-enhanced image (Panel C) show a region of encephalomalacia in the posterior aspect of the left temporal lobe and left occipital lobe (arrows) with surrounding gliosis (Panel A, asterisks), findings compatible with a chronic infarct.

ALT This image consists of repeat MRI of the head. Axial T1-weighted images obtained before and after the administration of contrast material (Panels A and B, respectively) show marked enhancement involving the mammillary bodies on both sides (arrows). T1-weighted contrast-enhanced images in the coronal and sagittal planes (Panel C and D, respectively) also show avid enhancement involving the mammillary bodies (arrows), which can be seen anterior to the midbrain (Panel D, asterisk). Axial T2-weighted FLAIR images at the level of the midbrain and thalami (Panels E and F, respectively) show no definitive signal abnormality in the periaqueductal gray matter (Panel E, circle) or medial thalami (Panel F, arrows).

ALT A graph showing the cumulative incidence of primary end-point events (intention-to-treat population).

ALT A quote from a Perspective published in the New England Journal of Medicine reads as follows: “Decades of design choices have led to systems in which markets are the primary drivers of health, caregiving infrastructure is fragmented, and prevention is devalued and chronically underfunded.” The Perspective is titled “Declining Child Health in the United States — Addressing the Developmental Ecosystem” and the authors are Christopher B. Forrest, M.D., Ph.D., and Neal Halfon, M.D., M.P.H. To the right is an illustration of an iceberg representing factors driving declines in child health. The iceberg is separated into four sections: "Surface Level: Declines in physical, neurodevelopmental, and mental health"; "Proximal Drivers: Developmental processes altered by exposures throughout the life course"; "Structural Drivers: Degraded natural and social systems"; and "Foundational Drivers: Antiquated cultural narratives about children’s needs."

ALT A quote from a Perspective published in the New England Journal of Medicine reads as follows: "Curative therapy is a remarkable achievement, but health systems should pursue possible future pathways to its deployment alongside these other measures, not ahead of them."
