Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates CP symmetry violation in the decay of D^{+} particles into K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} using data from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV.
  • A unique model-independent method was employed to analyze the phase-space distributions of D^{+} and D^{-} particles, correcting for any instrumental biases using D_{s}^{+} decays.
  • The findings indicate no significant evidence of CP violation, with a p value of 8.1%, and measure specific CP asymmetry observables, marking this study as the most sensitive search of its kind in multibody decays.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the predictive value of cytokine levels (MIF and IL-1β) in determining responses to antidepressant treatment in 1,299 patients as part of a larger trial.
  • Despite initial findings from smaller studies indicating a link between these cytokines and treatment response, the current research found no significant associations with depression score changes or treatment outcomes.
  • The lack of replication raises doubts about the usefulness of these biomarkers in clinical settings for treating depression.
