1. Key points you should know: - Cochrane produces systematic reviews of medical interventions that are influential for clinicians seeking to provide evidence-based care. - A 2019 review controversially recommended exercise therapy for ME/CFS, despite questions about the quality of the evidence and the experiences of people with the disease. - Cochrane acknowledged problems with the review and promised a complete update, then abruptly dropped the update project in December 2024. - The situation has sparked sharp criticism of Cochrane from ME/CFS advocates and researchers. - An online petition seeking withdrawal of the 2019 review has attracted more than 15,000 signers.
