The radiation theory doesn't look good to me, but I mainly dropped by to say 'welcome to the forum' to @rachel76 - hope that you're finding the...
From their correspondence, it looks like 'probably' is standard for moderate quality evidence in Cochrane reviews: "Some practical issues will...
Their section on selective reporting bias is BS. Truly shameful that Cochrane let them publish this.
Where did you see that? When I ctrl+f it doesn't come up.
Not for the contested one, where it seems like Larun got her way: "There is moderate‐certainty evidence that exercise therapy was probably more...
Thanks for all this Michiel - I haven't been able to read things through yet but I'm looking forward to doing so and seeing what you've dug up.
I have to admit that I don't understand the problem here or what it would be useful to do. I get the impression it might take years of work to...
That blog was also posted in this thread :...
The NPHI looks like an absolute disaster for patients. To me, it seems that it's allowed some quacks to become their 'CFS experts', and now the...

It probably made no difference, but imo it's worth not giving any advance warning to powerful figures if you think that there's going to be a...
Thanks for all of your work summarising this stuff Michiel. Thanks for explaining that. So the old tool may have given them less leeway on...
You keep rightly pointing out when I've been loose with my language (I really need to be more careful), but still, the arguments about the...
But no-one uses this classification of autism to argue that, therefore, behavioural interventions are not effective. Different diagnoses can be...
Surely there's no way they'd put the interests of patients over those of their mates!
We don't even have a way of clearly identifying who has ME/CFS and who does not. At the moment I think that any attempt to argue that the evidence...
If that translation is close to correct, that is an absurd thing to say. If Fink's work is of poor quality and legitimate patient concerns have...
Their key innovation here seems to be not having a control group that did not received CBT/GET. I' thought I'd repost comments from the old place...
