740 trials, published from 2010 to 2011, were exported from the
specialised register, after removing duplicates and out of scope trials,
185 of these trials were found to be already included in Cochrane
reviews. 422 trials were found to
be unused, however 192 (26%) of these could be included in an existing
CGF SR if it were updated. 230 trials (32%) were not matched to any
review title and from these 21 new review titles were developed. The
topic with the largest number of associated ‘unused’ trials, was ‘Plant
