Clinical Trial Registry for Randomised Control Trials and Systematic Reviews
Trial registry plays a critical role in ensuring transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct in research.
By mandating the pre-registration of studies, it minimizes biases such as selective outcome reporting and publication bias, ensuring that results, whether positive or negative, are made publicly available.
Registries also help prevent unnecessary duplication of studies, saving valuable resources and safeguarding participant welfare.
For researchers, it provides a platform to enhance the credibility of their work, while for participants and the public, it offers reliable access to information about ongoing and completed studies.
Furthermore, trial registries are often a requirement for ethical approvals and publication in reputable journals, underscoring their importance in maintaining scientific integrity and trust
