Totally agree largely on FDA and especially on something like ADVIL- more people die from "bleed-out" due to NSAIDS than died in Afghanistan in a yr- but they hand it out like candy.

Regarding publishing in journals- gotta say the jury (IMO) is still out on that- from reading so far.

International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)

Clinical Trial Registration. Part of the ICMJE Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals (" ICMJE Recommendations "), which is followed by more than 1,000 journals. The ICMJE Recommendations encourage journal editors to require that ALL clinical trials be entered in a public registry before the start of participant enrollment, as a condition of consideration for publication.

ICMJE Frequently Asked Questions About Trial Registration
Journals Following the ICMJE Recommendations. A list of journals who have contacted ICMJE to request listing as a journal that follows the ICMJE's Recommendations.

(seem REAL CLEAR here as these are the editors- the gate keepers if you will, of every major journal out there)

"Briefly, the ICMJE requires, and recommends that all medical journal editors require, registration of clinical trials in a public trials registry at or before the time of first patient enrollment as a condition of consideration for publication. Editors requesting inclusion of their journal on the ICMJE website list of publications that follow ICMJE guidance should recognize that the listing implies enforcement by the journal of ICMJE’s TRIAL REGISTRATION policy."

That's just two references saying that- I found several more written by several other sources saying the exact same thing.
