Lights' study?

I'm looking for a link to any article on the Light's study several years back. I seem to recall a graph showing that those with CFS have biomarkers for pain and fatigue that indicate our bodies act as if we've run a marathon after only moderate exercise.

Can't seem to find it anywhere on the 'net or on PR. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about and have a link?

FYI, They had another paper published in 2010, but it's not free access:

Severity of symptom flare after moderate exercise is linked to cytokine activity in chronic fatigue syndrome.
