'''''The Lancet''''' is a weekly peer-reviewed [[United Kingdom|UK]] medical journal. It has published a number of studies related to [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] and [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] ([[ME/CFS]]). Specifically, it has published the findings of the [[PACE trial|PACE Trial]] which were received with much controversy in the ME/CFS patient and academic community. == Notable studies published == * [[PACE trial]] ==Criticism== ===[[PACE trial|PACE Trial]]=== [[Richard Horton]], editor of ''The Lancet'', staunchly defended the [[PACE trial]] paper in a radio interview in 2011, insisting that <i>“it’s been through endless rounds of peer review and ethical review</i>” and that <i>“the criticisms about this study are a mirage”</i>.<ref name="pace20110418radio" /> The science journalist [[David Tuller]] commented: <blockquote><i>The Lancet has not explained how this piece of nonsense could possibly pass peer review. It has not even acknowledged that it published a paper with outcome thresholds lower than entry criteria, so that you could be simultaneously “within normal range”–one of the study’s measures for improvement–and disabled enough to qualify the study. That is not hidden or tucked away! It's right there in the study. It should have been noticed by anyone who read the study carefully. For a paper to include this analysis is absurd. For a journal to publish it and then not acknowledge such a fundamental flaw after it has been pointed out repeatedly, including in correspondence in the journal itself, is also absurd</i>”.<ref name="Schneider20160405" /></blockquote> ==Letters, articles and blogs== *[[Open letter to the Lancet]] *[http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(11)60696-X/fulltext Patients' power and PACE] ==Notable people== *[[Richard Horton]] ==Online presence== *[http://www.thelancet.com/ Website] *[https://twitter.com/TheLancet Twitter] ==See also== *[[PACE trial]] *[[The Lancet Psychiatry]] *[[:Category:Psychological paradigm proponents|Psychological paradigm proponents]] ==Learn more== *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lancet Wikipedia page for ''The Lancet''] ==References== <references> <ref name="pace20110418radio">{{citation | last1 = Swann | first1 = Norman | authorlink1 = | last2 = Sharpe | first2 = Michael | authorlink2 = Michael Sharpe | last3 = Horton | first3 = Richard | authorlink3 = Richard Horton | title = Health Report - Comparison of treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome - the PACE trial | journal = ABC Radio National (Australia) - Health Report | date = 18 Apr 2011 | url = http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/healthreport/comparison-of-treatments-for-chronic-fatigue/2993296#transcript }}</ref> <ref name="Schneider20160405">{{citation | last1 = Schneider | first1 = Leonid | authorlink1 = | title = Does The Lancet care about patients? | website = ForBetterScience Blog | date = 2016-04-05 | url = https://forbetterscience.wordpress.com/2016/04/05/does-the-lancet-care-about-patients/ }}</ref> </references> [[Category:Journals]]
