It's not obvious what the goal of this organization is, other than showing that there is interest in reporting all results. It would be nice to have a clear plan that they want to implement. The goal here should be simple -- all clinical tests for a drug must be registered before they being in order to be considered evidence of a drug's effectiveness. This has to be done on the level of the FDA or other drug-approving organization, and is a simple and effective means of achieving this end. Studies that are registered but never publish results will be noted and can be used to identify organizations that either routinely trash results through negligence or poor planning (the good faith version) or who refuse to publish negative results (the bad faith version). In either case, this can be taken into consideration when considering whether to green light a drug.
