Guest Authorship, Mortality Reporting, and Integrity in Rofecoxib Studies

Why is this important?
Given the possibility of selective analysis based on observed data and the risk of positive results due to chance alone, it is critical to know in detail which analyses were prespecified and when the prespecification occurred[1].
