Journal circulation of main publication, by statistical significance of primary outcomes in the internal company research report and the published report. Each study is represented by a two-sided rectangular box which indicates the statistical significance of the primary outcome according to (1) internal company documents (left side, protocol-defined primary outcome[s]) and (2) the main publication (right side, publication-defined primary outcome[s]). The text to the right of the box represents the journal's circulation. Numerical superscript specifies the reference number for the main publication of the study. NA - Not available. S - Primary outcome(s) statistically significant. NS - Primary outcome(s) not statistically significant. a. Cannot compare statistical significance: Internal company research report was not available (Studies 945–250 and No study number - Gorson). b. Cannot compare statistical significance: Statistical significance not reported for any publication-specified primary outcome(s) (Study 879–201). c. Journal circulation obtained from Ulrich's Periodicals Directory. 2001 edition; Volume 3. Page 5018. Bowker, New York (Study 945–224). d.
