Meta Analysis
Outcome reporting bias in randomized trials funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

We sought to determine whether outcome reporting bias would be present in a cohort of government-funded trials subjected to rigorous peer review. ⋯ Selective reporting of outcomes frequently occurs in publications of high-quality government-funded trials.
