    A. Survival graph showing time to publication of studies, categorised according to funding body listed on ClinicalTrials.gov. There were only 5 included studies in the “NIH or US Gov” group. There was no significant difference between groups in the proportion of studies which published within the follow up period. B. Survival graph showing time to publication of studies grouped by study Phase. Phase I studies were least likely to publish results. Vertical bars on each plot indicate right censored studies.
