A new interactive website shows that 49% of clinical trials on the EU clinical trials register have not reported results.

EU rules say clinical trial results must be reported onto the EU register for every trial there within 12 months of the end of the trial.

Only 51% of trials on the register are currently complying with this, but no one has ever been sanctioned for breaking the European rules.
