To systematically analyzed the reporting status of core elements in publicly available clinical practice guideline(hereafter referred to as "guideline") protocols published domestically and internationally over the past decade, identified existing problems, and provided evidence to inform the standardized writing and publication of future guideline protocols. A systematic search was conducted in Chinese and English databases for clinical practice guideline protocols published during the past ten years. The basic characteristics and reporting of core elements—including registration information, conflict of interest management, evidence grading, development process and timeline planning, as well as dissemination and implementation—were extracted and analyzed. Chi-square tests were performed to explore associations between protocol characteristics and the reporting of core elements. A total of 94 guideline protocols were included, of which 67 were in Chinese(71.28%) and 27 were in English(28.72%). Overall, 82.98% of the guideline protocols were registered, 92.55% reported management of conflicts of interest, 97.87% reported evidence searching, 88.30% reported evidence grading, and 89.36% described dissemination and implementation strategies. However, only 55.32% reported the guideline development process, and merely 23.40% reported timeline planning. Further analysis indicated that the reporting of registration, evidence searching, development process, and timeline planning was associated with year of publication. Differences were observed between domestic and international guidelines in reporting registration, conflict of interest management, development process, time planning, and dissemination and implementation. Guidelines intended for development exhibited higher reporting rates for registration, development process, and dissemination and implementation compared to those planned for updating or adaptation. Although current guideline protocols demonstrate relatively adequate reporting of methodological elements, deficiencies remain in development process and timeline planning. Future efforts should focus on promoting the publication and standardized reporting of guideline protocols, enhancing the international recognition of registration platforms, and strengthening the development process and timeline planning to advance the scientific rigor and transparency of guideline development.

The importance of consensus research in medical decision-making has become increasinglyprominent. However, this field has long lacked unified terminology definitions and reporting standards, leading to significant heterogeneity in study design, implementation, and result presentation that affects the credibility and reproducibility of outcomes. The ACCurate COnsensus Reporting Document (ACCORD) in the field of biomedical research provides a structured writing framework for various consensus methods such as the Delphi method and nominal group technique, aiming to enhance the completeness and transparency of study reports. Combined with specific cases, this article interprets the core items of ACCORD, offering references for the design, implementation, and reporting of high-quality consensus research in China.

This study explores methodological issues in the design, evaluation, and reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) under the concept of "syndrome dominating disease". The discussion focuses on key aspects including the adaptability of trial design, the screening of research participants, the standardization of syndrome differentiation, the balance between intervention individualization and standardization, the integration of multi-dimensional outcome measures, and the limitations of existing evaluation and reporting tools when applied to this type of research, along with corresponding recommendations and future perspectives. Regarding research design, it is recommended to select or draw upon innovative design concepts such as basket trials and subgroup-based dynamic/static parallel-group designs, in order to innovate the design format of RCTs. Meanwhile, criteria for participant screening, TCM syndrome differentiation, and disease classification should be standardized. The balance should be appropriately achieved between intervention individualization and standardization, and a multidimensional assessment system encompassing TCM syndromes, disease-specific outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes should be established. For risk of bias assessment and research reporting, it is recommended,to develop specialized assessment and reporting tools based on existing instruments, in order to standardize the assessment and reporting of study findings. Future research may further explore the potential applications of artificial intelligence in the study design, risk-of-bias assessment, and reporting quality assessment of RCTs based on the "syndrome dominating disease" model, with a particular focus on methodological optimization, data integration, and enhancement of research quality.
