So the red dots that vanish are the missing outcome data? Rather a lot of them. [EDIT: Yes, they are. Just seen the new thread of PACE graphs and gifs.]

The subjective-objective correlation test I most want to see is the 6MWT for the GET arm. It is the only objective outcome that delivered a statistically significant result (though not clinical significance).

Nice. :hug:

Be an interesting exercise to keep a list of the excuses/responses they go through, to see how it changes over time as each one fails to stem the tide, and they have to move onto the next decreasingly plausible one down the list.

He must love being harassed and intimidated. :whistle: ;)

Clinical trials are to compare treatments with each other, placebo, or no treatment at all, not to compare treatments with themselves over time. Sharpe himself says so earlier in the same document: It is a fact that the CBT & GET arms maintained their effect size at follow-up. But that is not...

Patients, as usual. Oh, wait, you meant who is funding the study. ;)

Admirable restraint, sir.

A question both tongue-in-cheek, and serious: How does the researcher tell the difference between the 'active' water and the 'inactive' control water? All water has been in contact with some other substance at some point, and subsequently diluted to the nth degree (thus rendering it mightily...

So what, in their bizzaro version of science, does count as evidence for a failed therapy? Where is the possibility for falsification? Sometimes I think they are just taking the piss.

Quite apart from the sheer idiocy and danger of it, there is something profoundly disrespectful about it, isn't there.

Sure they can. It is handwriting they have trouble with.

In other words, pacing.

In equal temperament the ratio between adjacent notes of the chromatic scale (i.e. a semitone apart) is the twelfth root of 2. Multiply the fundamental frequency of any note by that factor gives you the next note up the chromatic scale. [EDIT: Just noticed Bruce's post. He gave the compact...
