Influence of Reported Study Design Characteristics on Intervention Effect Estimates From Randomized, Controlled Trials (2012, background): “There is recent empirical evidence of bias in the results of randomized, controlled trials due to attrition (26, 27) and selective outcome reporting (28, 29).”
Using the Delphi Technique to Determine Which Outcomes to Measure in Clinical Trials: Recommendations for the Future Based on a Systematic Review of Existing Studies (2011, background): “As a result, the standardisation of outcomes for clinical trials has been proposed as a solution to the problems of inappropriate and non-uniform outcome selection [4,7] and reporting bias [5,8].”
Physical activity and academic achievement in children: A historical perspective (2012, background): “The overall increase in positive results may be the results of a trend, intended or not, towards a positive outcome-reporting bias, 97,98 where non-signiﬁcant or negative associations in selected outcome variables are not reported.”

Developing core outcome sets for clinical trials: issues to consider (2012, methodology): “Systematic reviewers are starting to use the outcome matrix recommended by the ORBIT project [3] to display the outcomes reported in the eligible studies.”
PRISMA-S: an extension to the PRISMA statement for reporting literature searches in systematic reviews (2021, background): “Contacting authors or manufacturers may also be necessary when publications, conference proceedings, or clinical trials registry records do not provide the complete information needed [63, 81].”
What Is the Evidence for Physical Therapy Poststroke? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2014, neutral): “Although this systematic review was performed with the greatest of care, there are some methodological limitations like the language restriction, not hand-searching conference proceedings, missing outcome data [577], not performing meta-analyses of individual patient data [578], and the lack of both”
