Abstract
AbstractPublic clinical trial registries contain a large amount of information about a large number of trials. Academic researchers have conducted various analyses using such data. However, some of these studies do not concern the medical condition or intervention that is the focus of each trial. We list examples of publications that have performed such analyses. Currently, there is no keyword to track relevant publications. Here, we propose a novel keyword, “Trial registry-metaresearch”, that could be used in such publications. This would be a great help to researchers who wish to more systematically search the literature for such metaresearch.
