New research indicates that many scientific papers claiming men and women respond differently to treatments or interventions lack strong evidence to back up those claims.

@chrischirp Great to see @trishgreenhalgh noting that LC patients need to pace themselves and that efforts to push for performance increases can cause long-term harm.

It would be amazing if she could help bring pressure on the Cochrane Library to remove its seriously flawed 2019 review of exercise for ME/CFS, which is leading some unwitting clinicians to advise LC patients to over-exert, causing serious harm.

We always talk about the importance of #ScientificEvidence in decision making, but which role values play in that process? 🤔

#EthicsGroup_EU has the answer to that question! 📖 Values during crises are as important as science, Prof Sahlin says.

I wonder what the #ScientificEvidence is for the claims of this hierarchical order of ”quality" in 'scientific evidence'. @sts #ScienceAndTechnologyStudies
