Summary of Findings | Twenty percent of systematic reviews did not include authors’ conflict of interest disclosures. Of the 160 systematic reviews that included conflict of interest disclosures, 15% had at least one author reporting at least one type of conflict of interest. The two most frequently reported types of conflict of interest were individual financial conflict of interest and individual scholarly conflict of interest (11% and 4% respectively). Institutional conflict of interest were less commonly reported than individual conflict of interest (3% and 15% respectively) and non-financial conflict of interest were less commonly reported than financial conflict of interest (6% and 14% respectively). |
