NB: readers may notice that NCCAM's lists of TACT sites differ from Clinicaltrials.gov.; we are at a loss to explain this. Readers may also notice the number of sites varies over time, for example in May 2008 Clincaltrials.gov listed 163 sites (http://web.archive.org/web/20080510054328/clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00044213?show_locs=Y#locn); on November 21, 2009 95 sites were listed (http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT00044213?show_locs=Y#locn). Table A includes all TACT study sites that appeared on one or both lists between November 2003 and November 2009. We relied on the Wayback Machine at Archive.org to retrieve previously published web pages of NCCAM and Clinicaltrials.gov site lists.

In 2009 OHRP's Federal Wide Assurance Database was revised and re-named

TACT sites can also be identified in the study newsletter TACT TALK. Issues published between October 2003 and January 2007 are available at: http://www.chelationwatch.org/research/tact/index_upd.htm
