Institutional dashboards on clinical trial transparency for University Medical Centers: A case study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

University Medical Centers (UMCs) must do their part for clinical trial transparency by fostering practices such as prospective registration, timely results reporting, and open access. However, research institutions are often unaware of their performance on these practices. Baseline assessments of these practices would highlight where there is room for change and empower UMCs to support improvement. We performed a status quo analysis of established clinical trial registration and reporting practices at German UMCs and developed a dashboard to communicate these baseline assessments with UMC leadership and the wider research community.

Methods and findings

We developed and applied a semiautomated approach to assess adherence to established transparency practices in
