INTRODUCTION There is limited information on the transparency of gastroenterology clinical trials. METHODS The ClinicalTrials.gov database was searched for trials focused on most common gastrointestinal diseases up to August 2018. Adherence to reporting of results to the database or in publication form was recorded for each trial along with trial characteristics. RESULTS Of the 2,429 trials included in the final analysis, 1824 (75%, 95% confidence interval: 73.4%-76.8%) had results on ClinicalTrials.gov or in the form of a publication. However, only 534 (29%) had results posted on ClinicalTrials.gov. DISCUSSION Improvement of clinical trial transparency is needed in gastroenterology.

胃肠病学临床试验透明度：ClinicalTrials.gov 数据库发表率分析。

简介 关于胃肠病学临床试验透明度的信息有限。方法 在 ClinicalTrials.gov 数据库中检索截至 2018 年 8 月针对最常见胃肠道疾病的试验。记录每项试验对向数据库报告结果或以出版物形式报告结果的遵守情况以及试验特征。结果 在最终分析中纳入的 2,429 项试验中，有 1824 项（75%，95% 置信区间：73.4%-76.8%）在 ClinicalTrials.gov 上发布了结果或以出版物的形式发布了结果。然而，只有 534 例 (29%) 的结果发布在 ClinicalTrials.gov 上。讨论 胃肠病学需要提高临床试验透明度。
