Perhaps it is not the fault of pharmaceutical companies when "negative" studies are rejected for publication by journal editors. But what about the 11 studies that were deemed by the FDA to be "questionable" or "negative", but portrayed in the literature as "positive"?

Pharmaceutical companies are not scientists pursuing an altruistic quest for truth. They are businesses who are interested in maximizing their profits. Of course they are going to try to portray their products in a positive light, as much as the rules allow them, and then some.
