We calculated the number and percentage of studies that reported predefined AE information.

Across all studies, reporting of AE information was insufficient. Substantial differences between studies that investigated different treatments emerged. Most pharmacologic studies (39/42) and mixed studies (7/9) reported any AE information, although the amount of information varied and the reported methods to assess and analyze AEs were heterogeneous. We found no substantial change in reporting practices after the publication of the CONSORT extension.
