Abstract
Mixed toxic chemical exposures are a common problem, but...
Potentially some "tortured phrases" indicative of paper mills (found by AI):
I think that's meant to be "causal association"

It's weird to refer to an odds ratio as "ratio of ratios".
Yeah, there's another CFS dataset on there as well:
ukb-b-8961: Non-cancer illness code, self-reported: chronic fatigue syndrome
They both have around 2000 controls and 500,000 controls, so I'm guessing they're both using UK BioBank data.

Odd paper. Starting from the title: "Myalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)".
The first half of the results section is about the microbiome and cytokines. The second half is some kind of history of long COVID and CFS. It's got statements like this:
Clinical Trial of Niagen to Examine Recovery in People With Persistent Cognitive and Physical Symptoms After COVID-19
This is a completed trial with results just recently posted on ClinicalTrials.gov. I don't know if a paper will end up being published.
Detailed Description
This study will...

I read a couple resources about MR from an expert in the field, Steven Burgess, and posted them previously:

After seeing the following thread with at least two studies where NK cell count correlated with daratumumab response in multiple myeloma, I'm much more interested in dara. I think it's very unlikely the NK cell correlation in this ME/CFS study is a coincidence.
The bone marrow NK-cell profile...
