This document summarizes James Coyne's involvement in criticizing the PACE trial for chronic fatigue syndrome. It discusses how Coyne initially published a critique of the trial findings in Lancet Psychiatry. When the PACE investigators refused to share trial data upon request, as they had promised, it became an internationally watched standoff. Coyne aims to obtain and reanalyze the data or get the paper retracted. He also wants to stop the abuse and stigmatization of CFS patients and recognize them as scientists.
