    In the version of this article initially published, Macbeth F, Webster A. Understanding bias in the medical literature: With reflections on metastasectomy. S. Afr. j. oncol. 2020;4(0), a144. https://doi.org/10.4102/sajo.v4i0.144, on page 4, the journal name, Trails, was misinterpreted and set incorrectly.

    The sentence is therefore corrected to:

    Publication bias is seen by the fact that both the CLOCC and SABR-COMET trials were published in relatively high impact oncology journals (JNCI and Lancet, respectively), whereas PulMiCC was turned down by several journals before being published initially in a lower profile, more general open access journal, Trials.11

    This correction does not alter the study’s findings of significance or overall interpretation of the study results. The publisher apologises for any inconvenience caused.
