TrialResults-center is the first resource to provide immediate access to morbid-mortality clinical trials results direct to your PC.
The TrialResults-center Database provides a unique view of the treatment efficacy based on all data provided directly from landscape clinical trial results, offering a valuable alternative to personal bibliographic search, published meta-analysis, etc.
The number of clinical trials published each year in cardiology continues to grow, making it unwieldy and time-consuming to stay on top of advances, especially those in adjacent fields. TrialResults-center saves you time by identifying the randomized clinical trials and providing rigorous assessment and results synthesis that show the key findings and the clinical impact of these trials.
TrialResults-center can streamline the process of researching facts about treatment efficacy, finding completed and ongoing clinical trials, and accessing the latest information on treatment efficacy. Whether you're a researchers, allied health professionals, physicians, TrialResults-center can save you time and money, giving you access to valuable information available from no other source.
This is a public and non-profit service. Users from all over the world have free access to the complete database information.

TrialResults-center provides up-to-date information about morbid-mortality clinical trials results in cardiology. Trials about surrogate endpoint or biomarkers are not primarily covered by TrialResults-center. Some trials of these type are however present into the database but only for the topics where landscape trials exist and when their are giving data from clinical endpoint.
Here you will find the list and short description of all randomized clinical trials performed for all the major heart and vessels diseases. You can also access to synthesis of their results by meta-analysis for relevant clinical endpoints
TrialResults-center helps you to navigate the vast amount of clinical trials by selecting and summarizing the trials that influence your specialty, enabling you to stay on top of the most significant developments in cardiological therapeutic quickly and easily.

Meta-analysis’ method is used to populate TrialResults-center. TrialResults-center is continually updated on a weekly basis. We continually search all new results (whatever their publication channel: presentation at a meeting, publication, register) and these news results are immediately added to the database with a maximum of 1 week.
Several methods are used to ensure that all relevant literature, both published and unpublished, is identified. First, relevant electronic databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane CDSR) are systematically searched using appropriate, comprehensive search strategies.
Second, the reference lists of all selected articles are reviewed.
Internet is searched for information on recent, ongoing, or unpublished trials. In addition, the following electronic registers are examined for relevant clinical trials: NCT, ISRCTN, WHO register.
The database is updated each day. A new result (published or only communicated at a meeting) is integrated into the database as fast as possible.
Search strategies are weekly performed to detect as soon as possible all news randomized trial results.
Data are extracted from the included studies using a standard form. The following information are collected:
Attempts are made to obtain full-text translations and/or evaluations of all relevant non-English articles.
Dichotomous data are used to calculate relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals.
Continuous outcomes are analysed using either the standardized mean difference (SMD) or the weighted mean difference (WMD) depending on whether the scales used are compatible across trials.
Estimates of efficacy (RRs, RDs, SMDs, and WMDs) are assessed for heterogeneity using the Cochran Q-chi square and the I-squared statistics (Higgins 2002; Higgins 2003). When considerable heterogeneity is present (>50%), an attempt are made to explain the differences based on the clinical and methodological differences of the included studies.
Clinically and methodologically dissimilar studies will not be statistically combined. When statistically heterogeneous studies are not too clinically and methodologically heterogeneous, they will be combined using a random-effects model.
Sensitivity analyses are available comparing studies with high quality of conduct or reporting vs. studies of low quality of conduct or reporting.

TrialResults-center contributors use custom authoring tools to upload the trial description, results and other materials for web pages. This information is stored in a series of databases, and web pages are created dynamically. This system provides great flexibility in the presentation of information. It supports the customization of content for different audiences and the sharing of materials with other projects.
Currently, web pages with information about systematic overview and meta-analysis of trials are the major visible feature of the TrialResults-center project. However, the technical configuration of the system is not just focused on the creation of web pages. TrialResults-center data are stored in a series of databases, and they can be retrieved dynamically for a variety of different purposes. We can customize web pages based on users' preferences, and we can serve materials for display on other web sites, for integration in other databases, or for scientific analyses.
The TrialResults-center’s scientific content is backed by a rigorous quality control system.
