Ask the Atlas

Evidence-grounded answers from classified ME/CFS research

Answers cite studies from the atlas · Powered by Claude

Ask questions about ME/CFS research. Answers draw on the atlas corpus with citations, and are explicit about what is established, emerging, or uncertain.

Best for

  • ·Explaining what studies show about ME/CFS symptoms, mechanisms, and findings
  • ·Interpreting a specific study — what it found, its limitations, and how it fits the wider picture
  • ·Mapping a research topic such as PEM, immune dysfunction, autonomic dysfunction, or metabolic dysfunction
  • ·Distinguishing established findings from emerging evidence
  • ·Being clear about what is uncertain or unknown

Not for

  • ·Medical advice or personal treatment recommendations
  • ·Questions outside ME/CFS research
  • ·Declaring which studies are the best overall
  • ·Offering certainty where evidence is still early, mixed, or contested
  • ·Replacing the Evidence Atlas when you need a broader literature overview

How to ask well

Ask one focused question at a time

Ask what a study found — and what it does not prove

Ask for uncertainty, not just conclusions

Use specific topics or study names for more focused answers

Compare carefully: ME/CFS versus Long COVID, established versus emerging

Narrower questions usually get better answers
