Table 2 .
Zero inflated negative binomial analysis of discrepancies, retraction status, year of publication, journal impact factor, and trial report citations. Only retraction status was significantly associated in both the excess zero components (negatively, in that trial reports are less likely to have zero discrepancies) and binomial components (positively, in that retracted trial reports are more components of the model)
