[An Illustrated Guidance for the Implementation of Methodological CONSORT Criteria in the Transparent Publication of RCTs in Ophthalmology]. Klin Monbl Augenheilkd. 2019 Jun 19;: Authors: Baulig C, Knippschild S, Krummenauer F Abstract The CONSORT Statement (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) recommends an evidence-based, minimum set of recommendations for the standardised and transparent reporting of randomised clinical trials. This statement includes a checklist of 25 items on regulatory and methodological, as well as characteristics of editorial clinical trial design and results. The recommendations help authors of RCT reports to ensure the complete and transparent reporting of design and result determinants with regard to the standards of evidence-based medicine; furthermore, it seeks to enable readers to critically assess and interpret the presented information and possible limitations of the underlying study data. However, it has repeatedly been shown that the implementation of, in particular, the adherence to methodological criteria is a challenge to RCT authors. Therefore, the following overview summarises an illustrated guidance to the minimum necessary information to take into account key methodological items in the CONSORT statement.
