1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has remained a medical enigma since it was first reported in the late 1980s by Paul Cheney, MD, PhD, who-along with his medical partner in Incline Village, Nevada-made the observation of a group of his patients all having serious and unremitting fatigue following a significant winter flu season. I was introduced to Dr Cheney by Scott Rigden, MD, an expert in the study of chronic fatigue syndrome and also a key advisor to me during the founding days of the Institute for Functional Medicine. From 1989 to 1991, Dr Cheney was an important contributor to the development of concepts underlying the Functional Medicine model.
