Consort
CONSORT stands for Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials
and encompasses various initiatives developed by the CONSORT Group
to alleviate the problems arising from inadequate reporting of
randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The main product of CONSORT
is the CONSORT Statement which is an evidence-based, minimum set
of recommendations for reporting RCTs. It offers a standard way
for authors to prepare reports of trial findings, facilitating
their complete and transparent reporting, and aiding their
critical appraisal and interpretation.
Minervation redesigned the site in summer 2007. This site has a more academic feel to it, which is not really surprising given its content. Whilst you may never have heard of CONSORT, this site is quite popular in the world of RCTs.ย In early 2011 a new module was added to let registered users submit examples of good reporting. The site then publishes these in its Library of Examples.
