title: Retrieving information on clinical methodology.
abstract: Evidence derived from several simple searchers of the literature suggests that one interested in identifying papers which discuss the methodologies of clinical trials will have reasonable success. However, the retrieval of a meaningful methodologic duscussion of any actual trial is unlikely because very little of this information has been published. Some suggestions to remedy this deficiency are given.
