The results of a Dutch trial on the use of probiotics in patients with severe pancreatitis were withheld from the public and the scientific community by The Lancet for several weeks until the time of publication. The public need for information was strong, but the researchers were not allowed to provide information and the journal did not make the article available immediately on its website for everyone to appraise the study results. The Ingelfinger rule was wrongly applied in this instance.
荷兰一项关于益生菌用于重症胰腺炎患者的试验结果被《柳叶刀》隐瞒了数周，直到发表时才向公众和科学界公布。公众对信息的需求强烈，但研究人员不被允许提供信息，该期刊也未立即在其网站上发布文章以供大家评估研究结果。在这种情况下，英格尔芬格规则被错误应用了。
