Corruption and the right to health 2017, para. 72
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Studies have revealed that commercially funded trials are up to four times more likely to report industry-friendly results than trials without such financial conflicts of interest. In addition, there is clear evidence of publication bias in psychotropic drug trials; research demonstrating the ineffectiveness of a drug can be suppressed or written in a way that conveys a positive result. Such publication biases result in an inflated perception of efficacy and an underestimation of the harms of psychotropic medications.
