To determine whether certain trial characteristics are associated with faster or more frequent inclusion in systematic reviews for drug interventions in type 2 diabetes.
We examined trials included in systematic reviews published between January 1, 2007 and January 1, 2017. Primary outcomes were time between trial publication and first inclusion in a systematic review and frequency of inclusion in systematic reviews over the study period. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards and regression models quantified associations with funding source, number of participants, trial conclusion, and journal impact factor.
Among 668 trials, the median time to inclusion was 76.1 weeks. Time to inclusion was shorter for trials with industry funding (hazard ratio [HR] 1.39; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13-1.71), more participants (HR 1.26; 95% CI 1.17-1.36), and published in higher impact factor journals (HR 1.28; 95% CI 1.14-1.45). The median frequency of inclusion was three. Frequency of inclusion was greater for trials with industry funding (relative risk [RR] 2.36; 95% CI 2.11-2.64), more participants (RR 1.51; 95% CI 1.47-1.55), positive conclusions (RR 1.89; 95% CI 1.68-2.13), and published in higher impact factor journals (RR 1.13; 95% CI 1.08-1.18).

确定某些试验特征是否与 2 型糖尿病药物干预的系统评价更快或更频繁纳入相关。
我们检查了 2007 年 1 月 1 日至 2017 年 1 月 1 日期间发表的系统评价中纳入的试验。主要结局是从试验发表到首次纳入系统评价的时间以及研究期间系统评价纳入的频率。多变量 Cox 比例风险和回归模型量化了与资金来源、参与者数量、试验结论和期刊影响因子的关联。
在 668 项试验中，纳入的中位时间为 76.1 周。具有行业资助的试验纳入时间更短（风险比 [HR] 1.39；95%置信区间 [CI] 1.13-1.71）、参与者更多（HR 1.26；95% CI 1.17-1.36）、发表在更高影响因子期刊的试验纳入时间也更短（HR 1.28；95% CI 1.14-1.45）。纳入的中位频率为 3 次。具有行业资助的试验纳入频率更高（相对风险 [RR] 2.36；95% CI 2.11-2.64）、参与者更多（RR 1.51；95% CI 1.47-1.55）、阳性结论（RR 1.89；95% CI 1.68-2.13）、发表在更高影响因子期刊的试验纳入频率也更高（RR 1.13；95% CI 1.08-1.18）。
