141/209 (67%) displayed reporting thresholds for both AEs of any grade and grade ≥3. 68 trials did not disclose the threshold used for reporting either or both AEs of any grade and grade ≥3.

**

41 studies had different thresholds for AEs of any grade versus grade≥3 which are represented in both columns.

These 5 studies used a threshold of 2 patients to report AEs of any grade and 1 patient to report AEs grade ≥3
