Public clinical trial registries contain a large amount of information about a large number of trials. Academic researchers have conducted various analyses using such data. However, some of these studies do not concern the medical condition or intervention that is the focus of each trial. We list examples of publications that have performed such analyses. Currently, there is no keyword to track relevant publications. Here, we propose a novel keyword, "Trial registry-metaresearch", that could be used in such publications. This would be a great help to researchers who wish to more systematically search the literature for such metaresearch.
公共临床试验注册库包含大量关于大量试验的信息。学术研究人员已经使用这些数据进行了各种分析。然而，其中一些研究并不涉及每个试验的重点疾病状况或干预措施。我们列出了一些进行此类分析的出版物示例。目前，没有关键词可以跟踪相关出版物。在这里，我们提出了一个新的关键词“临床试验注册库元研究”，可以在这类出版物中使用。这对于希望更系统地搜索此类元研究文献的研究人员将有很大帮助。
