“…CONCLUSION: The field of causal hypotheses of CFS/ME is diverse, and we found that the studies examined all the main categories of possible factors that we had defined a priori. Most studies were not designed to adequately explore causality, rather to establish hypotheses. …”

“…Intertester reliability and agreement between face-to-face clinician and self-reported home-based participant measures were determined by intraclass-correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plots, which were compared with minimal clinically important differences (MCID) (determined a priori). RESULTS: The mean difference (95% confidence interval) and [limits of agreement] for measures (where positive values indicate lower participant value) were weight, 0.7 (0.01-1.4) kg [−2.2 to 3.6kg]; waist 0.4 (−1.2 to 2.0) cm [−5.9 to 6.8cm]; SBP 7.7 (0.6-14.7 ) mmHg [−19.4 to 34.9mmHg]; DBP 2.4 (−1.4 to 6.2 ) mmHg [−12.2 to 17.0mmHg]; 6MWT, 7.5 (−29.1 to 44.1) m [−127.3 to 142.4m]; STST 0.5 (−0.8 to 1.7) seconds [−4.3 to 5.3s]; maximal push-ups −2.2 (−4.4 to −0.1) [−10.5 to 6.0]. …”

“…Morphology therefore should not be counted out a priori. 2) We here quantify for the first time how the stability of the SOM node improves for several genomic data sets when the taxon sampling is increased. 3) The patterns of “flipping points” (i.e., the weighting of morphological data it takes to change the inferred SOM) carry information about the phylogenetic stability of matrices. …”

“…Species boundaries and the reliability of morphological clusters recognized by these exploratory analyses were tested via confirmatory Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). (2) Qualitative, external morphological characteristics (e.g., shape, coloration patterns, setae number) were subjectively evaluated in order to create a priori grouping hypotheses, and confirm and improve species delimitation. (3) Species delimitation analyses based on mitochondrial DNA sequences from cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene fragments were carried out to test the putative species previously delimited by morphological and morphometric analyses. …”
