Objective To analyze the status of real world studies (RWS) through registration information of the Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR). Methods The website of ChiCTR was searched with the real world as the search term to collect relevant registered items in the real world from inception to May 4, 2022. Descriptive analysis method was used. Results A total of 642 registered items were included. The median sample size was 482 cases. RWS were mainly observational studies, and the number of intervention studies was increasing year by year. There were 267 studies (41.59%) at the stage of post-marketing drugs or phase Ⅳ clinical trials. Most of the main measures were endpoints (56.23%), and the most commonly used was overall survival (15.79%). 62.15% of the registered projects met the minimum requirements for registration. Conclusion The number of RWS registered by ChiCTR shows an increasing trend. At present, the research purpose of RWSs is unclear, and the completeness of registered studies and the overall content compliance of the studies need to be improved.
