IIT-tool-工欲善其事，必先利其器 -CONSORT 2010
 

The CONSORT (CONsolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) 2010 guideline is intended to improve the reporting of parallel-group randomized controlled trial (RCT), enabling readers to understand a trial's design, conduct, analysis and interpretation, and to assess the validity of its results. This can only be achieved through complete adherence and transparency by authors.

CONSORT 2010 was developed through collaboration and consensus between clinical trial methodologists, guideline developers, knowledge translation specialists, and journal editors (see CONSORT group ). CONSORT 2010 is the current version of the guideline and supersedes the 2001 and 1996 versions . It contains a 25-item checklist and flow diagram, freely available for viewing  and downloading through this website.

Extensions of the CONSORT Statement have been developed for different types of trial designs, different interventions, and different types of data.
