Most of them are significant, a fraction potentially should have been included, they may be interesting to some readers (e.g. for machine learning), and the rationales for non-inclusion provided for a fraction of items can be useful for understanding and further developing / articulating the inclusion-criteria.
Some editors may also find this useful for finding tasks of things to do as a fraction of these items may be relevant to other articles; I don't think I'll go through them again to add them to any (other/highly-specific) articles. Probably most of the studies are likely relevant to at least article, especially if there is a wikilink for the item.
However, not all of them (maybe not even most), many items are likely missing here (few of these even the year in science article), some have already been integrated into Wikipedia, and some may only or also be relevant to a timeline of a scientific field (see the timelines in the infobox linked on the right).
Having items in a table allows easily filtering and sorting items by field and other metadata, I proposed this for the year in science articles here, but currently don't even support it myself because of various problems with Wikipedia tables – bullet-points probably look better and could get supplemented with interactive tags (e.g. for scientific fields). Nevertheless, this also is a demonstration of an alternative layout for these articles.
Selection (initial discovery and in/exclusion decisions) could be the most laborious / difficult tasks of my monthly science summary related routine (monthly summary infographics and additions to the Wikipedia "Year in science" article and relevant WP edits). This table could be considered as a list of items that nearly but didn't make it through my / the proposed inclusion-filters.
Some of the items are included here are included to help others better understand the proposed Year in Science Inclusion Criteria.
Not included
[edit]You can sort the tables and the page is searchable by keywords (ctrl+F). For example, you can sort by scientific field or search for a scientific topic term. You can also:
- sort to see all items with "?" at the start in the "Non-inclusion rationale/info" column (this is set for most of the items where I couldn't decisively determine whether they should be featured in the article [most of the time] OR whether should be listed in this list here rather than nowhere [in some cases])
- search for terms like "too early" to find items for which a follow-up study may be worth including
- sort for content in the last column which often specifies other WP articles the item may be/likely is relevant to
- ...
There are problems with tables in Wikipedia, if you can improve the max-widths and responsiveness at some point, please do.

... Research on low energy demand has paid close attention to the broad social implications that might accompany such solutions, partly as a pre-emptive defence against the notion that to improve living standards a growth in consumption is necessary—a popular idea among politicians and the general public, even in the already affluent Global North (North America, Europe, Australasia, central Asia, and Japan). A review published in 2022 found that the effects of demand-side solutions on human wellbeing are generally positive. Shifts to active transport and a sustainable diet are prominent examples of demand-side changes that offer broad social benefits (in this case, for health) and complement the message from researchers in public health that social, mental, and planetary health and economic equality are synergistic." | |

Despite the relatively narrow confidence intervals of the effect sizes gs, the prediction intervals are wider. Recall that they [who?] estimate in which 95% of the effects of future similar studies would fall (Borenstein et al., 2017; IntHout et al., 2016). For example, the prediction interval for single methods ranges from -1.43 to 2.64, suggesting that some future studies will not find that complex courses enhance creativity [...] cultural exposure (95%-PI [0.21, 1.15]), meditation (95%-PI [0.07, 1.25]) and open-thinking techniques (95%-PI [0.09, 1.11]), as those PIs include only positive values.

Longitudinally, superagers also showed slower total grey matter atrophy, particularly within the medial temporal lobe, than did typical older adults. A machine learning classification including 89 demographic, lifestyle, and clinical predictors showed that faster movement speed (despite no group differences in exercise frequency) and better mental health were the most differentiating factors for superagers. Similar concentrations of dementia blood biomarkers in superager and typical older adult groups suggest that group differences reflect inherent superager resistance to typical age-related memory loss."

- "But the slide pattern is subtle, and the current analysis required more than 3,000 widely distributed sensors to uncover it. To detect these silent changes at a single location on a single fault would require sensors at least 100 times more sensitive than what is available today, Bletery says. Even then, such a feat is likely impossible, Jones says. The researchers discovered the slow slip by summing up all the data across separate stations and using the timing of the main shock as the benchmark event."

However, when these occur in someone who also has high blood pressure, diabetes or underlying heart disease, they are more likely to be associated with cardiac arrest. In the future, apps or smart watches may further narrow down who is most at risk for sudden cardiac arrest, he said."

- "With heating in buildings accounting for a large share of the energy consumption in the EU, policies to phase-out fossil fuels for heating and to switch to renewables are key elements. In the context of the proposed actions to phase-out fossil fuels at EU level, this article provides a systematic analysis of current and planned phase-out regulations for fossil fuel boilers in the EU Member States. The paper quantifies the share of energy consumption for heating that is addressed by such regulations and finds that the current regulations only address about 10% of the total fossil energy consumption for heating in the EU. The share increases to almost 30% when considering the planned regulations, reflecting the fact that large energy consumers such as Germany and the Netherlands have announced such regulations. The analysis shows that several Member States with high energy consumption for heating have neither implemented nor announced plans to introduce phase-out regulations for fossil fuel heating. The study concludes that immediate policy action is needed both at EU and at Member State levels."

Countries with low, medium, or high human development index (HDI) levels all had greater proportions of YLLs at premature ages than very high HDI countries (68·9%, 77·0%, and 72·2% vs 57·7%, respectively). Lung cancer was the leading contributor to preventable premature YLLs in medium to very high HDI countries (17·4% of all cancers, or 29·7 million of 171·3 million YLLs), whereas cervical cancer led in low HDI countries (26·3% of all preventable cancers, or 1·83 million of 6·93 million YLLs). Colorectal and breast cancers were major treatable cancers across all four tiers of HDI (25·5% of all treatable cancers in combination, or 14·9 million of 58·5 million YLLs)."

Jo Dunkley, a physicist at Princeton University, who also wasn’t involved with the work, agrees. “This is interesting,” she says, “but to me, it is too soon to say that this shows significant evidence of a problem” with the standard model of cosmology. And a few scientists, including David Spergel, former chair of astrophysics at Princeton and now president of the Simons Foundation, think the argument isn’t very convincing. “[The authors] ignore recent measurements that are consistent with standard theory,” says Spergel, who wasn’t part of the study. “And as this paper argues, analyses of large-scale structure at [nearby distances] are probably underestimating the important role that galaxy winds play in driving gas out of galaxies.

- "First, national governments are playing a key role when it comes to protecting the word’s remaining forests. The effectiveness of many complementary conservation efforts, such as private supply chain governance, local community collective action and certifications or standards, depends on national environmental legislations and their rigorous implementation (Hänggli et al., 2023). Local and bottom-up conservation initiatives cannot substitute for effective public policy, but often fill important governance gaps and can contribute to the design of better and more equitable forest policy"
