Only skimmed all this and first thought the Bero reference could still be a misleading one, only quoted by the autors because the paper's title fitted. Still not sure about this, not able to read it all. Didn't read the following either, but saw the diagram and thought it could be helpful to...

I hope it's OK to post here again a preliminary list of achievements in ME research from another thread, written by @Jonathan Edwardsin response to @DokaGirl : 1. Epidemiological studies have shown that there is a consistent cohort of people, independent of geography, who suffer from a well...

The reference given in the last of the above quoted paragraphs is: Bero LA, Grundy Q. Why having a (non-financial) interest Is not a conflict of interest. PLoS Biol. 2016;14(12):e2001221, https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.2001221

From the review: "Non-equivalent control groups, lack of blinding and adjustment of assessment criteria revealed that the effectiveness of the intervention for treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was exaggerated" Unfortunately that seems to be the case for the review. In Brian Hughes' book the...

Both the opening post and the "slightly different perspective" posted by @JenB seem a bit confusing to me. I don't understand Swedish but from having a look at the document it seems this correction is right and Bragée isn't the principal investigator, but Bo Bertilson (without ("h) @Anna H...

It seems a number of references have been added in an again misleading manner, in particular on 'Outcomes, risks & complications' from fusion surgery. (Edited to add: on the 'Craniocervical instability" page.)

For those who prefer reading to listening: I was happy to read on the podcast webiste:

From the article that includes the interview (from 2016): Also, from the interview: (My bolding added). Chou's claims quoted in this and the previous post seem to me to be overgeneralizing (at least)? Apologies for repeated editing for clarity.

This one appears particularly strange to me: Children’s experiences of living with CFS/ME: a systematic review and synthesis of qualitative studies https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=9896

Found this in my drafts folder and thought it didn't warrant an own thread so just leave it here. (From July, didn't check for updates) I did some search on PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROSPERO There seem to be quite a...

I agree with most comments that this is good news. (Edited to add: ) Thank you everyone involved. My only criticism goes to the Birmingham Mail's picture editors: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/health/cause-worlds-cruelest-illness-could-17130013 I think that MEA include a range of...

So within whose remit is it?

How about just adding to the sentence... "Overall, it seems that the Cochrane logo is hindering a critical assessment of the evidence" ...something like: "Since the amended review leaves the main problems unresolved, this misleading impact will likely continue." ?

I reiterate the thanks. Or delete a part of that second sentence and merge it with the first? "On Wednesday, October 2, Cochrane published a long-awaited amendment to its review of exercise therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). [1] Several changes have been made to the text following a...

From the participant information sheet linked in the opening post: I am skeptical as to whether this 'Neurosky MindWave' and the apps are actually able to measure all those things. Also, I find it strange to describe "how calm or clear-minded" someone is as 'Meditation'. Further quotes from...
