(NaturalNews) A recent study published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine has revealed that industry-funded clinical trials -- that is, drug trials funded by pharmaceutical companies -- almost always show positive results for the drugs they test. In contrast, only about half of government-funded studies show the same drugs to be safe and effective.
（NaturalNews）最近的一項研究發表在雜誌內科醫學年鑑，透露行業資助的臨床試驗 - 即是，由製藥公司資助的 藥物試驗 - 幾乎總是為它們測試的藥物顯示出正面結果。相比之下，由政府資助的研究表明，只有約一半的相同藥物是安全和有效的。
The results of the study may not come as much of a surprise to many who already recognize the corruption inherent in drug company-funded clinical trials. But they do broadcast this reality to a much larger audience than ever before.
對很多人研究結果可能不是來得很作大的驚奇，他們已認知到貪污附在製藥公司資助的臨床試驗。但他們確廣播這一現實對一班比以往更大的觀眾。
According to the study, out of 546 drug trials evaluated, industry-funded studies showed positive outcomes 85 percent of the time while 72 percent of trials funded by nonprofits or non-governmental organizations showed positive results.
根據研究，從 546項藥物試驗評估，業界資助的研究顯示85%的正面結果，而由非牟利組織或非政府組織資助的試驗，72%呈陽性結果。
Of this 72 percent, those nonprofit and non-governmental studies that received some funding contributions from drug companies showed positive results 85 percent of the time, while those that did not had positive outcomes only 61 percent of the time.
這72%中，那些非營利和非政府的研究，收取一些製藥公司捐助資金的，期間顯示呈陽性結果的有85%，而那些沒有收取捐助的，期間只得61%的有正面結果。
Additionally, 68 percent of industry-funded studies are not published until at least two years after they have been completed, allowing time for data manipulation. On the other hand, more than half of government, nonprofit and non-governmental studies are published within the first two years.

The study paper explains that ClinicalTrials.gov, a repository of all clinical trials completed since 1999, is a great tool for evaluating clinical trials to see who funded them and how long they took to be published. Using this tool, people can evaluate the studies for themselves to assess which ones are trustworthy.
