Description
Summary:If a trial is registered but never published, authors of a systematic review can still find the trial on the register and contact the authors to request the unpublished data for inclusion in the review. [...]prospective registration of clinical trials could further limit bias affecting the body of evidence that is available in published physical therapy trials. [...]even universal prospective registration may make no difference to selective reporting and publication bias unless there is an expectation that protocols will be compared to published reports before publication. [...]journal editors and peer reviewers must remember to check for discrepancies between submitted manuscripts and registry entries.
