Good journal articles?

Hello, everybody, I am trying to do something different this year with Journal Club and wanted to get some suggestions on significant articles from the past few years. Not just "interesting" articles, but rather ones with significant findings that (hopefully) should change the way we manage patients.

For example, there was a large retrospective study in the red journal last year that questioned the significance of doing annual evals for SCI patients (no benefit, but we still do them at the VA anyway). There was also a NEJM article a few months ago on high dose atorvastatin for secondary prevention on CVA from all causes.

I know that there are collections of "classic" articles, but I don't want to waste time studying a report from 1959 concluding that it is important to manage the bowels of paralyzed patients.

Thanks for your help.

I would say some of the recent articles by Mary Lloyd Ireland and her colleagues on the biomechanics of landing, and its implications for prehabilitating athletes to prevent ACL injuries. I think this has created a major paradigm shift in the prevention of ACL injuries, especially in female athletes
