    • This study aims to determine if there is a difference in the frequency of overall serious adverse events (SAEs) reported in clinical trial registrations and their respective primary publications
    • This study was conducted for systematic review authors who incorporate safety data into meta-analyses and network meta-analyses
    • Nearly 20% of publications with results posted in a clinical trial registry had inconsistent reporting of serious adverse events (SAE) in the primary publication
    • Nearly 10% of the randomised trials with a prespecified primary outcome in the registry had a change in the primary outcome in the publication
