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

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic, complex multi-organ illness characterized by unexplained debilitating fatigue and post-exertional malaise (PEM). We evaluated transcriptomic changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of ME/CFS patients undergoing an exercise challenge and explored the transcriptomic response to exercise and recovery in PBMC of ME/CFS patients, as compared to healthy controls using RNA sequencing technology. As transcriptomic changes in ME/CFS patients are still in the phase of discovery, analysis of data has to be stringent, and the most important results have to be validated by a different technology, such as real-time PCR or NanoString.
