This isn't just a small advancement, though. It's a simple tool, which isn't restricted to medical specialists, with a huge impact.
If a study found that letting cats roam hospital hallways reduced unexpected deaths by 26%, I think that would be reported, too.
It's a 26% decrease in relative terms, but looking at the study shows that it is a 0.5% decrease in absolute terms (1.6% vs 2.1%). A 0.5% decrease is great and should be applauded, but I think the article framing of this being a breakthrough is misleading and even goes against the conclusions of the very paper it is reporting on.
