Recently it was discussed that there is only one way to do research perfectly but many ways to do it wrong, especially when a research is done without consideration of bias affecting the study and the implications it may have on any outcomes and reporting (Lakshminarayan, 2016).
This is dangerous as it can affect patients and providers whom hear of these studies, and utilize their results to make some health decisions, albeit on false or misleading data. Hart, Lundh & Bero, (2012) discussed that clinical trials are the basis for informed evidence that affects clinical practice, and that reporting bias seems to be most prevalent in drug trials.
This is a troubling trend as money seems to having a strong influence on bias in clinical research, drug development especially, as opposed to the health and wellbeing of patients.
