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
