Screenshot of another figure depicting the course of several symptoms over time. Symptoms increase from -4 weeks to t=1 and then slowly decrease a bit.
Figure 2 from the paper. It are graphs with the component score on the y acid and time on the x axis. You can see a small improvement in the physical component score and a slightly larger improvement in the mental component score

This is a graph from a meta analysis (highest form of evidence according to some). They used a statistical trick to compare trials with each other. In the pic you can see that most drugs were tested against placebo (and of course the drug will work better on blood sugar than the placebo). The new expensive drugs were hardly tested against the cheap old drugs. This makes the statistical trick less reliable. Coincidentally the meta analysis was sponsored by big pharma.

A black and white hand drawn picture of a short, stout candle that is halfway burnt. On the candle it says 'strength to all of us' and it names the manufacturer, Bolsius. The candle is lit.

Grote dikke gotische letters die hier en daar nogal wiebelig ogen. De inkt is donker groen met rose gouden glitters. Onder in beeld Fens handgemaakte houten penhouder die er uit ziet als een toverstok.
