Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how trustworthy and impactful preprint trial reports were during the COVID-19 pandemic by comparing their methods and results with later published versions.
- Researchers reviewed a total of 356 trials, finding that 101 were only preprints, while others were published later; the average time to publication for preprints was about six months.
- Results showed that there were minimal differences in key methods and results between preprints and published articles, with only a small percentage affecting the certainty of evidence in treatment effectiveness comparisons.
Objective: To compare the effects of treatments for coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19).
Design: Living systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Data Sources: WHO covid-19 database, a comprehensive multilingual source of global covid-19 literature, up to 3 December 2021 and six additional Chinese databases up to 20 February 2021.
