I've asked around and it seems that most people have access to the full review and the protocol. I, however, don't have access. I can only see...
Sorry to hear you're getting worse. I'm afraid I can't help much but my initial thought is that if a change in taste is a symptom of...
Thanks @Dolphin! I was not seeing this. The pdf I've found stopped after 'Objectives'. It all makes a bit more sense now. Only a bit because...
Now I'm confused. When I search for the protocol I get a very, very short text that does not mention the outcomes measures it is going to look at....
Caution: This analysis was done by someone with no professional statistical training and is quite possibly wrong. Pooling the 6-minute walking...

I know, but Jo Nijs was also an author of that paper and has since proposed 'Activity Pacing Self-Management' which also includes gradual...
Sorry if what I wrote was a bit long/detailed and focused on minor points. I'm just going through the different arguments and issues with this...
I'm not following. I don't think Cochrane used the 5.2 SD from Crawley et al. in their effect size calculation. I think they only used it to...
Yes, but the 0.44 figure is when you take out the outlier of Powell et al. (2001), so it's relevant to heterogeneity and inconsistency. Regarding...
5) Fatigue post-treatment should be rated as low instead of moderate quality evidence The other two factors GRADE uses to downgrading quality of...
I don't know: what would be a direct outcome of fatigue in your view? Most examples are actually the other way around: it's about objective...
4) GRADE: do the oxford criteria constitute indirect evidence? The most recent version of the GRADE handbook can be found here...
