  This study presents a valuable meta-analysis that highlights low and highly variable breast cancer survival rates across Africa, emphasizing the pressing need for public health in Africa. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is solid, although a clarification of the crude 5-year survival rates would have strengthened the study. The work will be of interest to scientists working in the field of public health and breast cancer.

  eLife Assessment

  This important study uses Mendelian Randomisation to show that early life phenotypes (i.e. onset of age at menarche and age at first birth) have an influence on a multitude of health outcomes later in life. The provided empirical evidence supporting the antagonistic pleiotropy theory is solid. However, some results seem improbable and need to be checked to make sure they are correct.

  eLife Assessment

  This serostudy of blood donors in Bolivia (a country with very high COVID death rates in 2020-21) provides useful insights on the successive viral variants of SARS-CoV-2 over 2021 and 2022. Using compelling antibody and neutralization assays, the authors describe variant specific distributions in the different parts of Bolivia. The main methodological advance is to use serology to understand variant diversity, which in turn helps deepen understanding of "hybrid" immunity from widespread infection (and vaccination).
