The CONSORT Statement

The CONSORT Statement is a set of guidelines designed to improve the quality of clinical trials, which test new medical treatments or interventions. It helps researchers transparently report their study methods and findings, ensuring that the trials are well-structured and understandable. By following these guidelines, researchers can better communicate results to doctors, patients, and policymakers, ultimately fostering trust and improving decision-making in healthcare. CONSORT stands for "Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials" and serves as a foundation for reporting that benefits both science and the public.
