Errors in systematic review abstracts or plain language summaries Unpublished or "zombie" reviews (the file-drawer effect) |
| Number of systematic reviews included | 103 |
| Summary of Findings | Only around half were published in full within 3 years of presentation at the conference. There were many deficiencies in reporting according to PRISMA for abstracts which limits the reliability of the assessed conference abstracts to accurately represent the corresponding systematic reviews. |
