Key Points Question What proportion of abstracts submitted to a major annual pediatric scientific meeting are subsequently published? Findings Among 129 phase 3 randomized clinical trials identified in this cohort study, 27.9% were not subsequently published, and 39.5% were never registered, with previous trial registration and sample size associated with greater likelihood of publication. Mean (SE) time to publication from study presentation was 26.48 (1.97) months, and there was evidence of publication bias among published studies. Meaning Further encouragement and follow-up are needed to ensure that the totality of evidence is made available to inform clinical decision making.
