Using another study as a model, we used the World Health Organization's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (WHO ICTRP, List Version 2.1) \cite{Jones_2014}. Registries met specific criteria for quality, validity, content, accessibility, unambiguous identification, technical capacity, and administration/governance \cite{undefined}. Sources such as the Cochrane CENTRAL Registry of COntrolled Trials were not included as clinical trials registries but treated as a bibliographic database, as CENTRAL features a selection of already published trials.      As in previous studies,\cite{Sinnett_2015}{Keil_2014}{Jones_2014} we used the World Health Organization’s International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (WHO ICTRP, List Version 2.1) \cite{Jones_2014}. Registries met specific criteria for quality, validity, content, accessibility, unambiguous identification, technical capacity, and administration/governance \cite{undefined}. Sources such as the Cochrane CENTRAL Registry of Controlled Trials were not included as clinical trials registries, but treated as a bibliographic database as CENTRAL features a selection of already published trials.
