“…Some rehabilitation research consortiums (e.g., International Society of Physiotherapy Journal Editors) have transitioned to mandatory trial registration. We refer our readers to their 2013 editorial that clearly outlines the case for mandatory trial registration and the details of how authors may comply (Costa et al., 2013).…”

Note from the BJOT Editor-Chief BJOT, like many major occupational therapy and rehabilitation journals, has already adopted guidelines for reporting. Since 2015, when the journal moved to SAGE for publication, BJOT has conformed to the ICMJE requirement (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors[ICMJE], n.d.) that clinical trials are registered in a WHO-approved public trials registry at or before the time of first patient enrolment as a condition of consideration for publication (see BJOT Submission Guidelines at bjo.sagepub.com for further information). We are reprinting this editorial to join our professional colleagues at the journals listed below in explaining why registration is so important for clinical trials. In addition to publishing clinical trials, BJOT welcomes the submission of pilot/feasibility studies for clinical trials and RCT protocols and will spotlight examples in an online e-collection. Authors considering submission of a pilot or feasibility study for a future trial are not required to register this but are encouraged to contact the journal prior to submission if unsure. This editorial is reprinted from the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 96, 2093. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apmr.2015.09.005 by permission.

“…They argued that too few studies had been registered on a voluntary basis and that it was unethical not to publish less favourable results too. Recently, the editors of a number of leading physiotherapy journals, having found that the proportion of prospectively registered protocols of intervention studies of physical therapy remains small, have taken a similar decision [23]. Several registers are available, where key information about the original protocol must be offered.…”

Evidence-based evaluation of information: The centrality and limitations of systematic reviews

This introductory paper considers the value and limitations of the methodology of systematic reviews especially according to the evidence-based movement. It explains some terms and organisations producing systematic reviews. It also discusses controversies. The first concerns the criteria by which the quality of individual studies is assessed, the second the possible effects of the affiliation of some reviewers, and the third the value of formalisation of procedure (i.e. the tensions between formal tools and professional judgments). The article contrasts the evidence-based formalism with other formalisms as those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the International Agency for research on Cancer. It discusses systematic reviews in social science where interventions are complex, difficult to blind, and depend on context. Systematic reviews in working life research are often focusing on prevention. The formal evidence-based process may devaluate or disregard findings from mechanistic and observational studies. Hence such reviews may falsely conclude that existing knowledge about the risk of the factor is limited or nonexistent.
