LOTS of research on humans never gets published... depends on the results and who is paying for it.


I agree that negative results are not published many times, but if they got some minimal positive result, I guess they will try to publish somewhere.

It looks like the kind of study that has to present a report after it's completed and adding a publushed paper in Nature Whatever is a huge win. Nobody is fired for publishing in Nature.
