A searchable index of real negative results, null findings, and replication failures from the published literature — so you can learn what didn't work before repeating it.
WASTE indexes published research — it does not host or republish full papers. Each entry is a metadata record (title, authors, DOI) compiled from open scholarly databases, with the abstract shown in full only where the paper is openly licensed (e.g. Creative Commons); otherwise a short excerpt is shown for reference under fair use. WASTE classifies each work by failure type; classifications are automated and approximate.

Background The long-term reproducibility of the nighttime blood pressure (BP) phenotypes, namely, dipping (D) and nondipping (ND) has never been described in population-based studies. We investigated this issue in the participants to the…

Introduction Large language models are increasingly discussed as tools for patient-facing symptom assessment, but safe self-triage depends on the concrete next action recommended to the user rather than on generic urgency language alone.…
Hudec J, Prokopova T, Hulkova M et al. · 2026 · Anesthesia and analgesia
Background Anesthetic agents or some pathophysiological conditions can affect transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEP) monitoring. However, the influence of depth of anesthesia on TcMEP reproducibility in youth remains unclear due to…
Wiechert S, de Groot E, Rutjens BT et al. · 2026 · Preprint
Over the past decade, psychology has embraced transparency and reproducibility reforms to address the replication crisis, raising the question of whether these signals help legal decision-makers identify which psychological evidence is…

While measures to detect psychophysical olfactory ability are a crucial part of clinicians' assessment of potential olfactory loss, it gives no indication of how olfaction is experienced by the patient and these different aspects often deviate substantially. To ensure quality and reproducibility of subjectively reported olfactory experience and significance, the Importance of Olfaction Questionnaire (IO-Q) was introduced around a decade ago, and while initial validations have produced promising results, important aspects remain nearly unexamined. For example, the test-retest reliability has ra
