Unless a doctor is absolutely obsessed with love for his/her job, I think he/she is going home at 5pm, not writing any research. They certainly can't be doing any research with a backlog of patients waiting to see them.
The unpublished stuff. I don't know. I guess it might be interesting. But would it in any way be beneficial? I don't think so. The stuff that turns out to be really helpful is the stuff that people themselves discover. Such as LDN. No unpublished studies discovered that gem. Ok, let's assume every unpublished study is suddenly on your table to read. Now what? Do you think any of them are going to mean you will be cured in few weeks, because now you this or that has affinity for some receptor or something? Personally i don't see that.
Even the peer reviewed heralded published studies don't do us much good when it comes to actually getting better.
