I found this an interesting article from a science writer for Our World in Data. Rather than the usual hype it focuses on five treatments which showed high degrees of efficacy in phase 3 trials published in 2024, so are being or close to being used and having a real impact.
There’s also audio of the article by the author so it’s easier to absorb for some of us.
