From: Opportunities for selective reporting of harms in randomized clinical trials: Selection criteria for non-systematic adverse events

Two selection criteria (i.e., numerical threshold and participant group):

 Adverse events are reported if they occurred in ≥ 5% of participants in any intervention group.

 Adverse events are reported if they occurred in ≥ 2% of participants receiving gabapentin.

Three selection criteria:

 Adverse events are reported if they occurred in ≥ 2% of participants receiving gabapentin and if they occurred at least twice as frequently in participants receiving gabapentin, compared with participants receiving placebo.
