Factors predicting publication of spinal cord injury trials registered on www.ClinicalTrials. gov.

CONCLUSION: The current publication rate of spinal cord injury trials is only 47.6%, though this rate is similar to the publication rate for trials in other fields. NIH-funded trials are significantly more likely to become published than industry-funded trials, which could indicate that some trials remain unpublished due to undesirable results. However, it is also likely that many trials on spinal cord injury yield negative results, as treatments are often ineffective. PMID: 28826165 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
