1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Timely and accurate dissemination of outcomes is essential to accomplish main benefits of scientific research including clinical trials. Clinical trial results can be disseminated in two main ways: by publication in a peer-reviewed journal and by posting on a publicly available clinical trial register. The credibility of the literature on clinical trials is significantly diminished because a high percentage of trials is not published. While current legal regulations both in the European Union (EU) and the USA impose a duty to submit summary results of clinical trials to a respective register (EU Clinical Trial Register and ClinicalTrials.gov, respectively), the compliance with this requirement has been generally inadequate. Trial outcomes can be also made accessible by data sharing. However, in spite of the wide promotion of this idea, the access of investigators to participant-level datasets remains limited. The main objective of this review is to discuss current legal regulations, international standards, ethical guidelines and recent policies pertaining to dissemination of clinical trial results.
