A model is developed which permits estimation of the potential magnitude by which the reported efficacy of a treatment might be inflated, termed the publication bias, which depends on the sample size of the study and the number of similar studies conducted concurrently.

It was concluded that publication bias will not be addressed successfully by attempts to obtain information about unpublished trials retrospectively, but prospective registration of trials at inception appears to be a feasible approach to reducing publication bias and its adverse consequences.

Few trials supported by pharmaceutical manufacturers favored traditional therapy; some reasons for this finding may include selection of drugs likely to be proven efficacious, Type II errors (false-negative studies), and fear of discontinuation of funding should such studies be submitted.
