Abstract:
Considerable efforts have been undertaken to optimize the disclosures of authors but transparency alone will not solve the problem. Financial conflicts of interest in clinical trials are known to affect the research question, study design, and results as well as the conclusions. Non-financial conflicts of interest are less well studied. As a non-negligible proportion of studies are associated with conflicts of interest, more research in this field is warranted, in particular on the management and consequences of such conflicts.
