5 Research Questions · 2 Evidence Items

Q1.1 — Does the study have an associated retraction?

Automated Assessment:Assessment produced by the automated systemNo

Human Assessment:Assessment by a domain expert reviewer, informed by AI resultsNo

Rationale: No retractions on journal website.

Q1.2 — Does the study have an associated expression of concern or other relevant post-publication notice?

Automated Assessment:Assessment produced by the automated systemNo

Human Assessment:Assessment by a domain expert reviewer, informed by AI resultsNo

Rationale: No expression of concerns or comments on PubPeer.

Q1.3 — Do other studies by the research team highlight causes for concern?

Automated Assessment:Assessment produced by the automated systemNo

Human Assessment:Assessment by a domain expert reviewer, informed by AI resultsNo

Rationale: No mentions in Retraction Watch.

Q2.2 — Are there concerns relating to the timing or absence of study registration?

Automated Assessment:Assessment produced by the automated systemUnclear

Human Assessment:Assessment by a domain expert reviewer, informed by AI resultsNo

Rationale: Study registered 10-10-2006. Trial registry states study start date as "2006-10" and actual completion date "2011-06". No details of recruitment start and end dates. But likely prospective registration as registration and study start date within the same month.

Clinical Trial RegistrationSource: Clinical trial registry (e.g. ClinicalTrials.gov, ISRCTN)

Registration ID: NCT00385918

Registry: ClinicalTrials.gov

Registry Link: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT00385918 (opens in new tab)
