Data (i.e., evidence) about evidence based medicine

Interactive map of completed clinical trials phase 3 registered at ClinicalTrials.gov between 2002 to 2014 - Figure 6. Interactive map: percentage of studies (Figure 5. above) with results available at ClinicalTrials.gov. Raw data available in this Fileset: "13377 studies found for: Completed | Interventional Studies | Phase 3 | received from 01/01/2002 to 01/01/2014 | Worldwide".

This database complies with the terms and conditions of ClinicalTrials.gov: clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/about-site/terms-conditions Future analysis of these trials will be uploaded to this fileset. - Supplementary Figures (S1-S6). PubMed publication delay in the indexation processes does not explain the descending trends in the scientific output of evidence based medicine.
