Quoted from this source 3 passages

  • “Strong results are 40 percentage points more likely to be published than null results, and 60 percentage points more likely to be written up.”

  • “what is perhaps most striking … is not that so few null results are published, but that so many of them are never even written up (65%).”

  • “While around half of the total studies in our sample were published, only 20% of those with null results appeared in print.”
