Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT)

The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) is a set of guidelines that helps researchers accurately and transparently report the design and results of clinical trials. Its goal is to improve the clarity and quality of trial reports, making it easier for healthcare professionals and patients to understand the evidence behind medical treatments. By following CONSORT, researchers provide detailed information about how the study was conducted, who participated, and what the outcomes were, helping ensure that the findings are trustworthy and useful for informed decision-making in healthcare.
