Just to remark that the R community hs been active in developing
software in this area. The CRAN Task View has almost twenty packages
claiming to address the problem under various names.

Whether the methods work has also been the topic of discussion on the
mailing list dedicated to meta-analysis and interested readers may want
to search its archives

I know you didn't want to stimulate discussion, but the problem is not
confined to publication. "Adverse reaction to medication" monitoring
programs are plagued by a similarly massive under-reporting problem:
adverse reactions are seldom reported unless they are particularly bad
or surprising. (The Ministry of Health in my country estimates 90% of
cases are never reported.) Remembering to check for possible bias
from unreported cases is a human problem for analysts. Which, if any,
R packages have proven useful to detecting the existence of a
systematic under-reporting problem might well be an appropriate topic
for this list.

Again, this is off topic, not about statistics or R, but I think of
interest to many on this list. The title is:
"So you got a null result. Will anyone publish it?"
