In addition to being truly a giant in the field, Drummond also is the source for one of my favorite 2 slide transitions I've ever put in a talk. It shows the rapid change in sentiment on clinical trial registration in the early 2000s (in the wake of the Paroxetine scandal).
A quote from a JAMA piece from 2003 in which Drummond Rennie and Kay Dickersin bemoan the lack of knowledge, and therefore action, on clinical trial registration. “One of the biggest barriers to comprehensive trials registration is the relative obscurity of this issue in the lay and biomedical press…Because there is no new reporting that trials registers exist, there is no written record of it and scientists get the message that their community does not think registers are important.” (2003) A quote from another JAMA paper in 2004 on the widespread awareness of the importance of clinical trial registration. “Physicians and the public are now well aware of the importance of the registration of clinical trials.”

An AACR study presented at the 10th International Congress on Peer Review & Scientific Publication found authors & reviewers for the AACR journals are increasingly using generative AI, but only a small proportion are disclosing this usage as required by the journals. @peerreviewcongress.bsky.social

The Peer Review Congress celebrates the life of Drummond Rennie. His intellect and vision created the Congress and the field of meta-research, and sustained both for over 40 year. He was a champion of inclusion, a consummate teacher, and a wonderful friend who enriched us all. Godspeed Drummond.

@theaacr.bsky.social found that 23% of abstracts in manuscripts and 5% of peer-review reports submitted to its journals in 2024 contained text that was probably generated by large language models (#LLMs)

Check out out research on the factors associated with trial registration and related practices in collaboration with @bmj.com
peerreviewcongress.bsky.social Peer Review Congress #PRC10 @peerreviewcongress.bsky.social · Sep 5
Comparing improperly vs properly registered RCTs submitted to @bmj.com, 2019-23, proper registration was associated w larger sample size, more authors, nonprofit funding. Trials with authors from Asia had higher odds of improper registration, per @eloder.bsky.social and #BMJ colleagues
Retrospective registration was common, and most improperly registered trials rejected by The BMJ were later published in other ICMJE-affiliated journals. ICMJE journals should strengthen processes to better identify and reject improperly registered trials.

LLM-generated reviews matched or exceeded human reviewers on a few key dimensions of review quality. A fuller analysis will shed more light on the potential value of LLM peer reviews and how they could complement human peer reviewers’ work.
