Abstract:
Any kind of clinical study can supply clinical decision-making with useful information when they are designed and reported properly. However, results with bias or mistake can misguide doctors' decisions, if trials with poor design quality were reported wrongly. Therefore, researchers should report trials accurately and critically, so that the quality of trials could reach a high level and get trustworthy results. This article made an overview of many kinds of reporting standards about systematic reviews and all kinds of trials. We hope these international published standards could be helpful for Chinese medicine researchers in their practice.
