本报告介绍了一种技术上可行的方法，以处理大量关于口服避孕药的出版文献。从1977年11月到1980年10月，在3735篇出版物中讨论了这个问题。这些论文报告的原始，数字关系，涉及癌症的风险和使用口服避孕药的总数为1%的3735出版物。27篇文献中只有7篇是妇产科的作者。27篇论文中只有4篇发表在妇产科杂志上。分析表明，存在某种形式的审查，因为妇产科专家无法随时获得原始数据。
This report describes a technically feasible method to deal with the enormous volume of literature published regarding oral contraceptives. This subject was discussed in 3735 publications during the period from Nov. 1977 through Oct. 1980. Those papers reporting original, numeric relationships involving risk of cancer and use of oral contraceptives were 1% of the total 3735 publications. Only 7 of the 27 articles involved were authored by individuals from departments of obstetrics and gynecology. Only 4 of the 27 were published in journals devoted to obstetrics and gynecology. The analyses suggest a form of censorship taking place, in that the obstetrics/gynecology specialists do not have ready access to the primary data.
