OBJECTIVES
To estimate the rate of full publication of the results of randomized clinical trials initially presented as abstracts at national ophthalmology meetings in 1988 and 1989; and to combine data from this study with data from similar studies to determine the rate at which abstracts are subsequently published in full and the association between selected study characteristics and full publication.

Assessing the quality of randomization from reports of controlled trials published in obstetrics and gynecology journals.
- MedicineJAMA
- 1994
Proper randomization is required to generate unbiased comparison groups in controlled trials, yet the reports in these journals usually provided inadequate or unacceptable information on treatment allocation, suggesting that nonrandom manipulation of comparison groups and selective reporting of baseline comparisons may have occurred.

Even when the overall publication rate is high, such as for trials funded by the NIH, publication bias remains a significant problem and more reliable systems for maintaining information about initiated studies are needed.
