This database looks awesome.
If it means Cochrane will save face, they will go for it. But I don't know if they could bring themselves to admit that it was a good idea, unless...
I suggested to Hilda Bastian that the review should look at all treatments for ME/CFS and focus on objective outcomes related to activity - work,...
Absolutely spot on about them wanting to preserve the mystique to stay in control. I am all for standardization - it really isn't rocket science...
Absolutely nail on the head. I would be pleasantly surprised if the new review looked (primarily) at objective outcomes and concluded that GET...
Yes, it is a dogs dinner. I used to work for the Cochrane dementia group on a public engagement project which involved recruiting and training...
From what I remember from when working for Cochrane, there are regular searches of EMBASE and Medline which dump lots of records in CENTRAL and...
Great - I might lose the limits on the mention of harms to see how many there are in total. Would be interesting to see how many more records...
You did a a great search strategy - more sophisticated than mine which was to see how many studies in the Cochrane database used the term Myalgic...
The decision is nothing to do with science. It is everything to do with self-interest of Cochrane as an institution which will never take any...

If you look at the list under the trials tab, you will see that a lot of them aren't actually trials. I will see if I can find an example
it would be a large undertaking to set up a template. It might be worth starting with the FOI data from clinics and working from there rather...
yes. it would be. I would love to do it and have energy but no time until September 2022. What frustrates me is that Cochrane has not used its...
Absolutely. It's not innocent, it's callous and uncaring. Maybe S4ME could create a database of trials, real-world (observational) studies,...
I have heard from a colleague at the EQUATOR/REWARD conference in Berlin (https://www.reward-equator-conference-2020.com/) that Lisa Bero has got...
The only reason to allocate it to the work group is because they will look at objective outcomes relating to occupation - ability to do things -...
And in the the case of the CMRC meeting, no show! I would also pay good money to see a conversation between @David30th and Richard Morley,...
