BBC: 'Trump links pain reliever Tylenol to autism - but many experts are sceptical' 'Doctors in the US will soon be advised not to prescribe the pain reliever Tylenol to pregnant women, US President Donald Trump said, citing a disputed link between the drug and autism.' 'During the...

Good call, I think you're right. I found an R function that calculates Spearman p value with permutations (perm.cor.test). I ran it a few times with 100,000 permutations and the p value ranges from around .0115 to .0122, so right around what they reported. Using this method for the NK vs diff...

Maybe StudyME? Though this doesn't seem to be a strict database of people with ME/CFS. I think you just provide your location and select which kinds of studies you want to be notified about.

It's a good question. Ideally, we'd see if there's still a correlation even if all the people with depression were excluded in decodeme. (Or ME/CFS in this study).

Yeah, that's what I tried first. I also tried this in R and got the same result: Maybe it is some other calculation in SPSS.

I wanted to see how the baseline NK correlation compares when using steps instead of SF-36. They say that the correlation between baseline NK and change in SF-36 is r=0.77, p=0.012. Weirdly, I get the same r of 0.77, but I can't seem to get the same p, and instead get 0.0089. Close but a little...

I just watched this and it was quite good. Dr. Fluge features a lot and is a pretty funny guy. There were good examples of the suffering of ME/CFS, showing people who need to be in dark bedrooms for days. From the first half, it seemed to me almost like this movie was made to be an...

Ah yes, you read it more carefully than I did. Though I think it's possible it would have passed multiple test correction if they had considered all the other original proteins for the second analysis as well. In the first depleted protein analysis, haptoglobin was significantly decreased after...

I looked through all the references. Other than 31 through 34, the rest seem to be referring to real sources. The ones that do not appear to be real are all of the citations from the section "Biopsychosocial complexity and the role of the initial infection". Interestingly, four other citations...

I'd be surprised if it was not AI. I can't think of a good reason to just make up the title of a paper, and it's something AI is very much known to do: Fabrication and errors in the bibliographic citations generated by ChatGPT, 2023, Nature Forbes: The Irony—AI Expert’s Testimony Collapses...

The first several references seem real, so I looked at the last three, after the one you referenced, which also have issues: Wrong DOI, journal, and date. Actually a preprint. Title doesn't appear to exist. Title doesn't appear to exist.

You're saying that if dara was trialled based on prior data showing high CD38, it'd be less meaningful? I'm not sure I follow.
