Selective reporting bias due to discrepancies between registered and published outcomes in osteoarthritis trials.

Conclusion: Trials about conservative therapies for OA have high prevalence of discrepancies between protocol and publication, and frequent ORB. This may mislead readers of published results because it has been shown that ORB can lead to both overestimation and underestimation of effects of interventions, depending on the intervention and outcome. Efforts to prevent nonregistration of protocols and selective reporting are needed. PMID: 31739691 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
