Selective Outcome Reporting Bias in Randomized Controlled Trials on Dental Caries in Children and Adolescents: A Meta-Research Study
The high prevalence of SOR in dental caries RCTs in pediatric dentistry highlights the need for attention to this issue. Ensuring transparency in the research process requires implementing an appropriate pre-registered protocol, disclosing deviations from it, and enabling stakeholders to compare the protocol with the published outcomes which can help reduce research waste.
