About CONSORT

In 1993, an eclectic group of trialists, methodologists and medical journal editors came together to try to improve the quality of reporting of clinical trials.

The result was the CONSORT Statement:  an evidence-based tool to help researchers, editors and readers assess the quality of the reports of trials.

The CONSORT Statement is now widely recognised as a cornerstone of research reporting.

There is good evidence that endorsing CONSORT can improve the quality of research reports. (207)
