Transition from meeting abstract to full-length journal article for randomized controlled trials
Article Abstract:
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) abstracts presented in late-breaking trials sessions are compared to those presented at other sessions at a major scientific meeting and the subsequent full-length publications in each case are compared. While late-breaking trials were observed to be larger and more likely to be preceded by a design paper, they were less likely to report positive results than RCTs presented at other sessions.
