The relative difference between the registered and reported sample size was greater than 10% in 18 articles (19%) and greater than 20% in five articles (5%).
There was no clear association between the reported planned sample size reported in http://ClinicalTrials.gov and the chance that the trial was published (OR 1.01; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.01).
Thirty (7%) of the original sample size calculations could not be recalculated (see supplementary table 11). Figure 3 shows a box plot of the relative differences between the reported and recalculated sample sizes.
Differences between the reported counts and the sample size (n = 1160) are thus due to missing responses.
aCost data were sampled between the reported lower and upper quartile values.
The reported differences between samples of persons with different mental disorders indicate that this scale might be of practical use for therapy planning and tracking of treatment outcome across time.
The tree forms three main branches and shows the relationship between the samples and the reported sequences for MMTV, HMTV and C3H.
This is possibly due to polymorphic differences between the samples reported by Bui [73] and those in the literature or the presence of impurities in his samples [117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124].
In a sample of Pacific dunlins collected on the Fraser River estuary in 1992-1995 (i.e. between the samples reported here; see [ 31]), means for both culmen (2.18%, relative to 1970s sample) and winglength (1.59%) are slightly larger than either sample reported on here.
Recently we have investigated two aspects of eyetracker data accuracy and quality that appear to be particularly variable in studies with poorly cooperating participants—namely, precision, the consistency in the reported position of gaze between samples, and robustness, how broken or fragmented contact with the tracker is during recording (Wass, Forssman, & Leppänen, 2014).
