Methods and resultsWe identified studies that assessed the impact of publication bias in Medline (January 1993 to October 2003) using the search terms “publication bias”,“citation bias”,“language bias”, location bias”,“reference bias”, or “multiple publication bias”. We also searched the references of a Cochrane review on publication bias. 4 We restricted the search to publications that primarily investigated publication bias and whose acceptance therefore might have depended on whether they had found publication bias or not. We retrieved 265 references. Of these, we chose 148 for full examination. Their bibliographies yielded 26 additional papers. We excluded 148 studies because they gave no original data. All remaining 26 were included in the analysis (see bmj. com).
