Much less conflict of interest or perverse incentives to distort the presentation of the results or to hide negative studies.
Don't be so sure about conflicts and incentives. I think of the Swiss government report finding homeopathy works. Which is absolutely impossible (dilution of effective ingredients to nothing) and inconsistent with the results from high quality clinical trials. The Swiss analysis is frequently cited by the altmed crowd but is filled with flaws and clear bias.
