Reporting of Results in ClinicalTrials.gov and High-Impact Journals.

The article discusses research on the reporting of results in ClinicalTrials.gov, a public clinical trial registry maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. The 2007 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Amendments Act mandates results reporting within a year of trial completion for all FDA-regulated medical products. The researchers did a cross-sectional analysis of trials whose results were published between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011. Results of the analysis are discussed.
