UK clinical trials must be registered to win ethics committee approval
Abstract
Clinical trials in the United Kingdom will have to be registered on a publicly accessible database as a condition of winning approval from ethics committees, under a new rule from the UK Health Research Authority that takes effect on 30 September. The move is a start on implementing the authority’s action plan to increase transparency in research, set out in a discussion paper last May, which included ensuring that the outcomes of clinical trials are published.1 The authority, which has signed up to the AllTrials campaign on disseminating clinical trial data (alltrials.net), confirmed in July that …

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
