In one instance, a drug maker delayed publication of a study's results by requesting changes to the manuscript to make the product look better. During the delay, the company secretly wrote a competing article on the same topic, which was favorable to the company's viewpoint. Another investigator found that a drug he was studying caused adverse reactions. He sent his manuscript to the sponsoring company for review. The company vowed never to fund his work again and published a competing article with scant mention of the adverse effects.
