Latest review

First review round: 6.5 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The first decision and review outcome came almost early. After re-submission, apparently the reviewer 2 did not review the revisions and the manuscript was sent to reviewer three. The process took 4 to 6 months (I have lost the track!) Reviewer 3 rejected manuscript because he believed it is not in the scope of Trials. Editor specifically anounced that my manuscript IS in the scope of the journal but did nothing to correct the reviewer. One month later and I'm still waiting for a final decision. Last time i checked, it was reassigned to reviewers.
