Thanks for that overview @Murph Had a quick look at the trials and this looks like the major phase III trial published in 2019 in the NEjM:...
Old and small study but interesting: Black CD, McCully KK. Time course of exercise induced alterations in daily activity in chronic fatigue...
Agree with this. I wonder if researchers could simply do a very low intensity activity and monitor patients and controls over time for...
On the other hand, if revision within 20 days is perfectly possible, it is quite incredible that some authors have to wait many months or even...
But first the editor has to view the manuscript, decide if it should go out for peer review or if it is a desk rejection. Then he should find peer...
For me it's hard to see why this approach would makes sense for journals and scientists unless it involves lowering standards for publication.
There is currently a special issue on ME/CFS in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (MDPI) titled: 'Advances in Myalgic...
Special issue in scientific journals focus on a particular topic and often have guest editors. They might provide an opportunity to publish...
Was able to read the paper today (it is now open-access) and it seems that Sid suspicion was right: this is a post-hoc subgroup analysis because...
Noticed some inconsistencies for this paper compared to the trial registration: Study Details | Effectiveness of VIRTUAL SFCAMINA STUDY |...
Something different: On the Retraction Watch article on the Cochrane review, I noticed this comment: I wonder if this is Meredith Warshaw...

The paper says they added multiple factors in the statistical model which weren't mentioned in the protocol: The protocol says they would...
Had a look at the protocol which said: So 50m was originally viewed as the minimum important difference? Reference 14 is: Minimum clinically...
Indeed, the data and figures look the same. Strange situation. Normally journals forbid submitting the same manuscript elsewhere.
Thanks for highlighting (the flaws with) this study David. Minor issue: I got lower drop-out rates: 11/56 (20%) in the face-to face group and...
Thanks, got the same, only one that met the 5*10^-8 threshold. Have replied this to the researchers. Curious what the explanation will be.
Yes but not sure if I can copy their reply so I'll try to summarise. They basically said that they did not use the 102 significant SNPs...
Strange that they don't describe the selection method a bit more: were these 40 patients selected because they had the most severe or most notable...
These seem like the main results: [ATTACH] The frequency of their signatures was not increased in the AoU Long Covid cohort if they included...
