All structured information of the potential studies was downloaded and reviewed. A descriptive analysis was performed. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were respectively performed to determine the significance of the association of study characteristics with results reporting and early discontinuation.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 529 interventional studies on robot-assisted surgery were included, with 45 studies reporting results anBMJ opene067379https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9944654biostudies-literatureEarly discontinuation and results reporting of robot-assisted surgery studies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov: a research on research study.PMC9944654Yang ZHu TLiu LLong YHuang JLin YDu LfalseEarly discontinuation and results reporting of robot-assisted surgery studies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov: a research on research study.<h4>Objectives</h4>In this study, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of robot-assisted surgery studies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and identify factors associated with early trial discontinuation and timely results reporting.<h4>Design</h4>We searched ClinicalTrials.gov to identify interventional studies on robot-assisted surgery on 24 May 2021.
