CONSORT guidelines

The CONSORT guidelines are a set of rules designed to improve the quality of clinical trials, which are research studies testing new medical treatments. They provide a checklist and a flow diagram that help researchers report their trial methods and results clearly and transparently. By following these guidelines, researchers can ensure that their findings are reliable, making it easier for doctors and patients to understand the benefits and risks of treatments. This ultimately enhances trust in medical research and helps to improve healthcare decision-making.
