Outcome Reporting Bias In Randomised Controlled Trials. 340c365 Recommendations for examining and interpreting funnel plot asymmetry in meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials. One of the main ways of reducing selective outcome-reporting bias is to require all trial investigators to register details of their trial in a publicly accessible register before the trial recruitment starts.
Registration and Outcome-Reporting Bias in Randomized Controlled Trials of Distal Radial Fracture Treatment. Inadequate trial protocol registration can lead to outcome-reporting bias 18. Efforts to address this include requirements that RCT protocols be published in journals or on trial registry websites which allows for confirmation that all primary outcomes are reported in study publications.

RCTs are subject to bias at various levels. To our knowledge this is the first study to systematically investigate the completeness of trial registration and the extent of outcome-reporting bias in RCTs relating to the treatment of distal radial fracture. RCTs are subject to bias at various levels. If applicable to psychotic disorders such bias would jeopardize the reliability of randomized clinical trials RCTs investigating antipsychotics and thus their extrapolation to clinical practice.
