Table 1 Quality assessment of outcome reporting and trial registration
Domain | Assessment criteriaa |
|---|---|
Methodological outcome reporting (based on MOMENT criteria [20]) | 1) Is the primary outcome clearly stated (in the method section)? |
2) Is the primary outcome clearly defined (method section/protocol/register) so that another researcher would be able to reproduce its measurement? | |
3) Are the secondary outcomes clearly stated (in the method section)? | |
4) Are the secondary outcomes clearly defined (method section/protocol/register)? | |
5) Do the authors provide a rational for the use of the outcomes they have selected? | |
6.1) Are all defined primary outcomes and secondary outcomes reported which are defined in the method section? | |
6.2) Are reported outcomes limited to the outcomes defined (in the method section)? | |
Trial registration | 7.1) Was the trial prospectively registered? |
7.2) Are all (registered) primary and secondary outcomes reported? | |
7.3) Are reported outcomes limited to those registered? | |
7.4) Is there no sign of selective outcome reporting (e.g., change in primary or secondary outcome, new primary outcome, omission of primary outcome)? |
