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

backgroundClinical trial registration is critical for research transparency and integrity. Since 2005, the Declaration of Helsinki has required prospective registration of trials before subject recruitment. In Israel, the MyTrial registry was established in 2015 to register interventional trials and became mandatory in 2016 for ethical approval. The study aimed to analyze the registration practices, challenges, and trends in clinical trial registration in Israel using the local registry "MyTrial".

methodsA total of 3,895 clinical trial records from 2011 to December 2022 were retrieved from the MyTrial platform and subjected to descriptive analysis.

resultsA significant increase occurred from 2016 to 2021 due to mandated registration, with a peak in 2020 (733 trials) and a decrease in 2022 (462 trials), likely due to COVID-19. Most of the trials included drugs (56%) or medical devices (33%). Geographically, 53% were from central Israel. Only 39% of the patients were registered at both MyTrial and ClinicalTrials.gov. 65% had no blinding. 47% featured unregistered products. 56% had not started recruitment. Since 2016, the number of advanced therapy trials has steadily increased, reaching 19 in 2022. There are gaps between registered trials and official government reports.

conclusionThese findings provide valuable insights into the current landscape of clinical trial registration in Israel and highlight the need for improvements in compliance with prospective registration and adherence to the WHO-ICTRP standards.
