A recent survey of Cochrane systematic review authors examined their experiences when retrieving and using unpublished data for systematic reviews. Non-commercial clinical trials registries accounted for 6.3\% of sources reported for use\cite{Schroll_2013}. The infrequent use of trials registries reported by Cochrane reviewers is surprising since they offer promise in locating unpublished trial data. Futhermore, a number of precipitating events have made clinical trials registries a viable information source for systematic reviewers.
