I assumed the authors intended the readers to make that inference given in the introduction they refer to the suggestion that the persistent...
The SMC briefing on this paper has gone on line this morning, though dated last Saturday, have not read it yet....
I interpreted this as a quote from the authors, rather than the view of the MEA, though that was not made clear making it read like a ringing...
Given the study has some 19 authors ( https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306453018301963?via%3Dihub ), why are conflicts of...
The SMC does not seem to have put anything onto their website on this study so far: http://www.sciencemediacentre.org/?s=Cfs&cat= Perhaps King's...

I agree it certainly seems profoundly unsatisfactory that Cochrane have acknowledged there are significant issues with this review such that a...
The Cochrane Exercise Review that the authors recently resubmitted, with the resubmission being rejected is still online, see...
PR must be a major factor. If you asked people what for example MND or MS are, I suspect a significantly larger number would come up with some...
