Competing Interests
AstraZeneca provided the study drug for the POISE study, which is used as an example in this methodology manuscript, but the primary source of funds was the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. AstraZeneca has never had any influence over the publication or presentation of data from the POISE study. Salim Yusuf received consultancy fees, research grants and honoraria from AstraZeneca. Other authors have no conflict of interest. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
