Results Among 74 FDA-registered studies, 31%, accounting for 3449 study participants, were not published. Whether and how the studies were published were associated with the study outcome. A total of 37 studies viewed by the FDA as having positive results were published; 1 study viewed as positive was not published. Studies viewed by the FDA as having negative or questionable results were, with 3 exceptions, either not published (22 studies) or published in a way that, in our opinion, conveyed a positive outcome (11 studies).

According to the published literature, it appeared that 94% of the trials conducted were positive. By contrast, the FDA analysis showed that 51% were positive. Separate meta-analyses of the FDA and journal data sets showed that the increase in effect size ranged from 11 to 69% for individual drugs and was 32% overall. Figure 1 Effect of FDA Regulatory Decisions on Publication. Among the 74 studies reviewed by the FDA (Panel A), 38 were deemed to have positive results, 37 of which were published with positive results; the remaining study was not published.

Among the studies deemed to have questionable or negative results by the FDA, there was a tendency toward nonpublication or publication with positive results, conflicting with the conclusion of the FDA. Among the 12,564 patients in all 74 studies (Panel B), data for patients who participated in studies deemed positive by the FDA were very likely to be published in a way that agreed with the FDA.

In contrast, data for patients participating in studies deemed questionable or negative by the FDA tended either not to be published or to be published in a way that conflicted with the FDA's judgment.

Geoffrey Robertson Hypotheticals. Figure 2 Publication Status and FDA Regulatory Decision by Study and by Drug. Panel A shows the publication status of individual studies. Nearly every study deemed positive by the FDA (top row) was published in a way that agreed with the FDA's judgment. By contrast, most studies deemed negative (bottom row) or questionable (middle row) by the FDA either were published in a way that conflicted with the FDA's judgment or were not published.

Numbers shown in boxes indicate individual studies and correspond to the study numbers listed in Table A of the. Panel B shows the numbers of patients participating in the individual studies indicated in Panel A. Data for patients who participated in studies deemed positive by the FDA were very likely to be published in a way that agreed with the FDA's judgment. By contrast, data for patients who participated in studies deemed negative or questionable by the FDA tended either not to be published or to be published in a way that conflicted with the FDA's judgment. Medical decisions are based on an understanding of publicly reported clinical trials. If the evidence base is biased, then decisions based on this evidence may not be the optimal decisions.

For example, selective publication of clinical trials, and the outcomes within those trials, can lead to unrealistic estimates of drug effectiveness and alter the apparent risk–benefit ratio. Attempts to study selective publication are complicated by the unavailability of data from unpublished trials.

Good Reader Crack Keygen on this page. Researchers have found evidence for selective publication by comparing the results of published trials with information from surveys of authors, registries, institutional review boards, and funding agencies, and even with published methods. Numerous tests are available to detect selective-reporting bias, but none are known to be capable of detecting or ruling out bias reliably. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) operates a registry and a results database. Drug companies must register with the FDA all trials they intend to use in support of an application for marketing approval or a change in labeling. The FDA uses this information to create a table of all studies.
