Background: We investigated whether there had been an improvement in the quality of reporting for randomised controlled trials of acupuncture and moxibustion published in Chinese journals. We compared the compliance rate for the quality of reporting following the publication of both the STRICTA and CONSORT recommendations in China.
Methods: Four Chinese databases were searched for RCTs of acupuncture from January 1978 through to December 2012.
Background: We aimed to assess the endorsement of the Consolidation Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement by Chinese journals of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its incorporation into their editorial processes.
Methods: PubMed, Embase and major Chinese databases were searched to identify journals of TCM from China for inclusion. The latest 'instruction for authors' (IFA) of each included journal was obtained and any text mentioning CONSORT or CONSORT extension papers was extracted.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effects of internal and external pancreatic duct stents on postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).
- The meta-analysis of seven studies found that external stents significantly reduce the risk of pancreatic fistula (PF) and delayed gastric emptying (DGE) compared to internal stents.
- The authors suggest that while external stents show potential benefits, more randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings and provide clearer conclusions.
Background: There is no systematic assessment whether the quality of reporting has been improved since the CONSORT Statement was introduced into China in 1997. The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of the CONSORT Statement is associated with improved quality of reporting of RCTs published in Chinese pediatrics journals.
Methods: Six core Chinese pediatrics journals that included Journal of Clinical Pediatrics, Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics, Chinese Journal of Practical Pediatrics, Chinese Journal of Evidence-based Pediatrics, Chinese Journal of Pediatrics, and Chinese Journal of Pediatric Surgery were searched from inception through Dec.
