- Coverage
- 3 outlets in 3 countries, across 3 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 3 outlets, 3 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
- Countries by region
- Africa 1: Nigeria. Europe 1: United Kingdom. Middle East 1: Lebanon. The region a country’s press publishes from, as the feed list files it; the outlets that publish from no single country count as one country under International.

- Arabic, English.
- Timeline
- Earliest article Nigerian Tribune, 6 Oct 2026, 06:10 UTC. First seen 6 Oct 2026, 06:40 UTC. Last seen 7 Oct 2026, 12:01 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
- Classification
- Region International. Topic Science & Health. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
- Score
- None now: last seen more than 48 hours ago, so off the ranking. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
- On the map
- Best rank 96, 6 Oct 2026, 07:20 UTC. Drawn from 6 Oct 2026, 07:20 UTC to 6 Oct 2026, 08:00 UTC. Peak score 2.59, 6 Oct 2026, 07:10 UTC. The map as it stood at each ten-minute run: the rank is the story’s place among the stories drawn, 1 the largest tile, and the span is from the first run that drew it to the last. Kept for every story that reached the map since 1 October 2026, before the story is deleted from the live table.
- Chain
- Continues One in eight cancers caused by infections worldwide. Continued by Study finds infections cause about one in eight cancers worldwide. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
