About
How it works
Every Sunday an automated process searches new scientific publications from PubMed using a curated set of search queries covering ME/CFS, Long COVID, and related mechanisms. Each paper is then scored by Claude Opus on a scale of 1 to 10 for relevance to ME/CFS and PVFS.
Only papers with a score of 4 or higher appear on the website. This includes not only direct ME/CFS studies but also papers from other disciplines like immunology, neurology, mitochondrial research, whose mechanisms may be transferable. That cross disciplinary perspective is the real value of this system.
Update rhythm
Latest – new papers scored and summarised every Sunday
Treatment Radar – new compounds and drug repurposing findings
Lab Guide – guide for laboratory research and diagnostics
Foundations – curated core literature from 2019 to today
