Selective Reporting.

Reporting Bias Due to Selective Outcome Reporting
Criteria for judgment of “Low risk” of bias Any of the following:
The study protocol is available and all of the study‘s pre-specified outcomes (preeclampsia, maternal and fetal outcomes) which are of interest in the review have been reported in the pre-specified way;
The study protocol is not available, but it is clear that the published reports include all expected outcomes, including those that were pre-specified.
Criteria for judgment of “High risk” of bias Any one of the following:
Not all of the study’s pre-specified primary outcomes (preeclampsia) have been reported;
One or more primary outcomes is reported using measurements, analysis methods or subsets of the data (e.g., early onset preeclampsia, late onset preeclampsia) that were not pre-specified;
One or more reported primary outcomes were not pre-specified
One or more outcomes of interest in the review are reported incompletely so that they cannot be entered in a meta-analysis;
The study report fails to include results for a key outcome that would be expected to have been reported for such a study.
Criteria for judgment of “Unclear risk” of bias Insufficient information to permit judgement of ‘Low risk’ or ‘High risk’. It is likely that the majority of studies will fall into this category.
