Hypothesis: The objective was to investigate the prevalence of spin in abstracts of systematic reviews and meta-analyses covering the treatment of tinnitus. We hypothesized that spin would be present in these articles and a significant relationship would exist between spin usage and extracted study characteristics.
Background: Spin, the misrepresentation of study findings, can alter a clinician's interpretation of a study's results, potentially affecting patient care.
