The Editor has invited me to mark the occasion with a few words "on the development and/or impact of randomised trials over the last decade, or perhaps some thoughts about the future." I do so here by citing some recent developments that give me cause for both pride about the present state of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and optimism about their future. Respecting the sample size of James Lind's trial and the space allotted me by the Editor, they appear in six pairs.

Evolving the job demands-resources framework to JD-R 3.0: The impact of after-hours connectivity and organizational support on employee psychological distress.
Acta Psychol (Amst)
January 2025
Department of Psychology, Renmin University of China, Beijing, China.
This study extends the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) framework by proposing JD-R 3.0, which explores the dynamic and nonlinear relationships among Work Connectivity Behavior After-Hours (WCBA), Perceived Organizational Support (POS), and employee outcomes, with a specific focus on psychological contract violation (PCV) and psychological distress. Data were collected from 625 employees in a large financial organization in China across two waves, and polynomial regression and response surface analysis were used for hypothesis testing.

Medical Affairs, Digicare Health Solutions Private Limited, Ahmedabad, India.
Background: The integration of digital health applications into type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management presents promising opportunities for optimizing glycemic control, enhancing adherence, and improving health outcomes. MyTatva's Glycemic Lifestyle Intervention in Diabetes Empowerment (GLIDE) program, which integrates dietary and exercise regimens, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, potentiates this approach. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the GLIDE program's personalized, comprehensive approach in improving glycemic control over 90 days among T2DM patients.

Most recent accounts highlight the importance of two aspects of cognition in the implicit understanding of the physical world: semantic knowledge (the ability to recognize, categorize, and relate concepts) and mechanical knowledge (the capability to comprehend how things mechanically work). However, how the human brain may integrate these cognitive processes remains largely unexplored. Here, we use functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate this integration employing a novel free-viewing task.

PeerJ Comput Sci
September 2024
College of Computer and Information Engineering, Henan Normal University, Xinxiang, Henan, China.
Background: With the development of steganography technology, lawbreakers can implement covert communication in social networks more easily, exacerbating network security risks. Sterilization of image steganography methods can eliminate secret messages to block the transmission of illegal covert communication. However, existing methods overly rely on cover-stego image pairs and are unable to sanitize unknown image, which reduces stego image blocking rate in social networks.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved great success in semi-supervised learning. Existing GNNs typically aggregate the features via message passing with the aid of rich labels. However, real-world graphs have limited labels, and overfitting weakens the classification ability when labels are insufficient.
