Another paper has been published on this study. See thread here: https://www.s4me.info/threads/patient-experiences-and-the-psychosocial-benefits-of-group-aquatic-exercise-to-reduce-symptoms-of-me-cfs-a-pilot-study-2020-broadbent-et-al.14737/

From another paper on the same study:

Possibly if peer review work was paid, more people might take more opportunities to do it. Currently there is an incentive to be inclined to do it if it might help you while turning down papers to review if the paper isn't likely to help you and your views/own research interests.

No control group. I wonder how the results would have compared to the another group meeting up twice a week to chat over tea/coffee/herbal tea or whatever.

The main outcome measures were reported in a separate paper, discussed here: https://www.s4me.info/threads/effects-of-a-short-term-aquatic-exercise-intervention-on-symptoms-and-exercise-capacity-in-individuals-with-cfs-me-2018-broadbent-et-al.4722/ [27] Broadbent S, Coetzee S, Beavers R...

I have no real experience of looking for funds from seriously wealthy people but if this experience was a more general trend it might suggest that talking down NIH interest in ME/CFS might not be a good strategy.

Okay, but that's the same in any field. There doesn't seem to be good evidence of any problem specific to the ME/CFS field that researchers who do apply for grants in the US are disadvantaged at the moment.
