Improving the quality of medical research reporting is crucial to reduce avoidable waste in research and to improve the quality of health care. Despite various initiatives aiming at improving research reporting-guidelines, checklists, authoring aids, peer review procedures, etc.-overinterpretation of research results, also known as distorted reporting or spin, is still a serious issue in research reporting.
