EQUATOR reporting guidelines should also be used by clinicians

For many years, the Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research (EQUATOR) Network has been endorsing several guidelines for the reporting of medical research [1]. These guidelines aim to help researchers in reporting research findings in a transparent and unbiased way. As a reviewer of some scientific journals, I often use these guidelines to help me during the review process. In fact, the EQUATOR Network provides a toolkit for peer reviewing health research [2]. The order and organization of the guidelines, in the form of checklist items, facilitate the identification of the pivotal aspects of different manuscript domains that should be observed during the review process.
