Conflict of interest has been defined as a set of conditions in which professional judgment concerning a primary interest (such as patient welfare or the validity of research) can be influenced by a secondary interest (such as financial gain). 1 Despite increasing evidence that conflict of interest influences authors' conclusions, 2–4 we found no research into the effect on readers' perceptions of research. We studied whether a declaration of financial competing interest influences readers' perceptions of the interest, importance, relevance, validity, and believability of a study.
