📅 PUBMED DAILY TRIAGE — 2026-04-30

Window: 2026-04-29T09:00:00Z → 2026-04-30T09:00:00Z (CRDT) Topics scanned: 10 | Articles reviewed: ~100 candidates | Candidates evaluated: 16 kept High priority: 2 | Standard: 10 | Low/archive: 4 | Unsolicited finds: 1 Run status: SUCCESS


🔴🟠 HIGH PRIORITY (8+) — Best Finds by Topic

💊 Cardiovascular-Metabolic: GLP-1, SGLT2, Cardiometabolic Risk

TR-2026-04-30-001 / PMID 42056284 · APSH+DASG Consensus on Hypertension Management in Diabetes (Asia-Pacific) · 8/10 · 🟢 NEAR_TERM_IMPLEMENTABLE

First joint 15-country Asia-Pacific hypertension+diabetes guideline using GRADE framework; formally endorses SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA for cardio-renal protection with BP target <130/80 mmHg — immediately applicable to the world's highest-burden cardiometabolic region.

TR-2026-04-30-002 / PMID 42056522 · GLP-1R-GIPR-PPARα/γ/δ quintuple agonist corrects obesity/diabetes in mice (Nature) · 5/10 [FLAG: NOVEL_TREATMENT → HIGH] · 🟠 NOVEL_TREATMENT

First-in-class unimolecular quintuple agonist (GLP-1-GIP-lanifibranor) outperforms semaglutide and dual GLP-1/GIP co-agonism in obese mice; published in Nature (Helmholtz Munich); preclinical only — triage score capped at 5 per non-human rule, but NOVEL_TREATMENT flag triggers HIGH pipeline priority.
