- Abstract
The article reports on the status of the publication of clinical trials for drugs submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) between 1998 and 2000. According to the author, positive results of clinical trials for drugs or devices have a higher chance of getting published in the medical literature than negative trials. The author adds that only 43% of all the trials conducted were published within five years after FDA approval of the drug or device.
