    • Twenty percent of secondary publications of randomized controlled trials of drugs did not provide new results relative to the primary publication

      2020, Journal of Clinical Epidemiology
      Citation Excerpt :

      A study of duplicate publications of RCTs in the field of perioperative medicine (anesthesia, analgesia, and critical care) identified six different patterns of secondary publications based on the analysis of the samples and outcomes reported [7]. Some experts consider that secondary publications constitute a waste of time for stakeholders in medical research, publishers, and authors of systematic reviews and prevent readers from obtaining a clear view of a trial's results [1,8]. Secondary publications also mean that the same data set may be included several times in a systematic review or meta-analysis, which means that a study may have a too important weight (being considered several times), thus invalidating the estimated pooled effect size [1,9].

    • Knowledge dissemination in clinical trials: Exploring influences of institutional support and type of innovation on selective reporting

      2018, Research Policy
      Citation Excerpt :

      To capture the influences of both initiatives (considering a lag of 2 years for the ICMJE initiative), I added a variable ‘Published After 2007′ (1 = year of article publication > = 2007). Past studies have indicated that the production of multiple publications from single studies can lead to bias in a number of ways (e.g., Huston and Moher, 1996). Thus, I added the natural log transformation of the number of references that are associated to the trial, as reported in the Cochrane reviews (‘Papers’).
