I'd say the top four look pretty good. The paper was saying participants 2 (red) and 5 (green) were also responders based on questionnaires, with participant 5 not sustaining the improvement. Participant 2's (red) subjective improvement does seem really close to the other four sustained...

It's kind of hard to make out what's going on in the chart of steps vs. time (fig. 5A) because they all start from a wide variety of baseline steps. So I plotted change in steps from start of study to make it easier to see the timeline of improvement. Each position on the x-axis is an average...

I don't know. It'd be great to have large effect sizes, but the next best thing is at least being significant. Until we have a reason to forget about it, like a study that finds the opposite, I think it's fine to speculate about. Small but significant can still be biologically meaningful. You...

No, it'd be log2(x mg/dL) = [number on y axis] So reverse the calculation. To go from the y axis to the real measurement, you do 2^number. So a value of 8 on the chart equals 2^8=256 mg/dL. I think it's normally done when the data is skewed. Taking the log makes it more normally distributed...

It feels like the abstract is lacking in detail. What do they mean by "neuronal activity" or "metabolic information"?

Could you explain more about why it's implausible?

Why would the body keep thinking there are toxins?

Ok thanks. How did you select traits to highlight? For example, BTN3A2 has 97 traits, some with even lower p values than some of the traits in your table, such as height or teeth issues.

Can you give more detail for how you used to decodeme data to get these lists of traits? Search for genes? Variants? Ranges?

I wasn't sure what "blue space" meant. Wikipedia

The following newly released thesis looks like it might be the same study, though the details aren't exactly the same. Thesis Identifying the Neurobiological Substrates of Gulf War Illness, 2025, Jones

I think this might be the same study as the trial registration in this thread, though the details look a little different. Assessing Neuroinflammation in Gulf War Illness Using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Younger

It's just assumed that participants in an unblinded trial filling out a questionnaire differently means their symptoms improved. No mention of the possibility of bias related to subjective outcomes in the limitations.

It looks like you can download summary stats on the GWAS Atlas website. I'm not sure if it has data from exactly the same study you linked, but it has several for depression. For example, there's a depression trait which looks like it has NEGR1 as significant. Clicking the link next to "File"...
