DESCRIPTION:<b>Introduction</b>: The Cochrane Handbook recommends searching
  clinical trials registries for systematic reviews of interventions\, incl
 uding specifically clinicaltrials.gov (CTG). Trial records from CTG are al
 so indexed in the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials 
 Registry Platform (ICTRP)\, Cochrane Central and\, as of October 2025\, in
  the Embase database. \nCurrent guidance   recommends searching CTG throug
 h the native platform as well as the ICTRP platform\, due to differences i
 n search functionality and indexing of the records. With Embase now includ
 ing CTG records\, we sought to determine whether all relevant CTG records 
 can be retrieved from searching Embase.\n<b>Methods</b>: We conducted an e
 xploratory information retrieval study on the recall of relevant CTG recor
 ds within an Embase search. We used search strategies and included studies
  from previously published Cochrane reviews of interventions\, published i
 n 2025. Cochrane reviews that searched Embase\, CTG\,  and ICTRP were elig
 ible for inclusion. We replicated their searches in each source\, and expo
 rted the records. We then checked each retrieval set against all CTG trial
  records/numbers mentioned in the ‘references to studies included in thi
 s review’ section of each review\, and calculated recall for each source
 . For missed CTG records\, we confirmed whether it was present in the plat
 form. And in the case of Embase\, we explored why some were missed from th
 e search. \n<b>Results</b>: Results TBA\n<b>Discussion/Conclusion</b>: The
  findings of this study provides initial evidence on whether CTG records c
 an be reasonably retrieved through a search of Embase\, and whether the ex
 isting evidence stating that both CTG and ICTRP should be searched separat
 ely is still true.
