In a nutshell: The authors of this study investigated the prevalence of outcome reporting bias and its impact on Cochrane reviews. Empirical research suggests that statistically significant outcomes are more likely to be fully reported than non-significant results in published reports of randomised controlled trials. The authors conclude that outcome reporting bias is a less recognised issue that affects the conclusions in a substantial proportion of Cochrane reviews.
