 == Exaggeration of CBT effectiveness == 

 In the lead sentence of the CBT subsection in the CFS treatment article, it states that CBT ""results in improvements in about 70% of patients"". The reference given is PMID 16443043 (which in the full-text seems to cite PMID 11179154). However, the next paragraph in the article describes the recent Cochrane review which showed the statistic to be more like 40% (with the long-term effect in doubt). So I'd like to know why one single study with a much higher success rate than systematic reviews is given preference in the lead sentence as a ""matter of fact"" statement? Just imagine the editing furor that would occur if this was done in the subsection on essential fatty acids. -   "
