Metaregression is a technique used to explore the relation between study characteristics (for example, sample size and journal of publication) and effect size.
Table 1 shows the mean (± standard deviation, SD) year of publication, reported effect size, baseline value, and study size for each of the four investigated medical therapies.
In our present analysis, we could not find strong signals of publication bias effects on the primary outcome parameter, hospital mortality.
Few places would escape the effects of the "Beeching axe" and, 50 years on from the report's publication, those effects can still be seen, not least in Ripon, a small city on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales.
Publications in effect outsource the organisation of peer review to the company on the understanding that other clients can look at the results, too.

In accordance with previous publications, this effect appears to be temporally limited [49].
