Why do I get only a few or zero trials as a result of some of my searches?

PsycBITE™ is in the early stages of development (launched on July 7th 2004), and therefore the number of trials from which to search is limited at this stage. This number will increase as we continue to identify trials that meet the PsycBITE™ selection criteria and upload them to the database. PsycBITE™ has more than 120,000 references yet to be subjected to the identification and rating processes and will be continually made available as they are identified and rated for their methodological quality.
