Research in Focus: reporting bias in homeopathy

Re-assessment of reporting bias in homeopathy

We are pleased to share our latest Research in Focus article, which summarises HRI’s recent study on reporting bias in homeopathy trials. This paper assessed a 2022 study claiming to have found poor reporting standards in the field: significant inaccuracies were identified in the original data used, and a full re-analysis provides accurate results on this important topic.
