Summary
DescriptionME-CFS Papers by Year.svg |
English: Graph of ME/CFS papers known to PubMed by publication year. Data is from PubMed search. The blue bar is papers mentioning ME/CFS, and green is papers whose title contains ME/CFS. The latter may be a more reliable indicator of research activity, as papers whose title mentions ME/CFS are more likely to have substantial coverage as opposed to a passing mention.

Source of chart data
I got these numbers from PubMed searches. For papers mentioning ME/CFS, I used the following query: ("myalgic encephalomyelitis") OR ("chronic fatigue syndrome") For papers with ME/CFS in the title, I used this query: ("myalgic encephalomyelitis"[Title]) OR ("chronic fatigue syndrome"[Title])
For each query, I downloaded the CSV of results by year. Then I combined the two CSVs in a spreadsheet, adding the omitted years where zero papers were published. Then I exported the file with both datasets together as papers.csv.
Source Data File
This is the file papers.csv that the gnuplot needs as an input. Copy and paste it into a text editor, and save as papers.csv.

Gnuplot code
I created this chart with Gnuplot, using the following code. It gets the numbers from the data file papers.csv, placed in the same folder as the gnuplot script.
