It is critical that the reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) be transparent and comprehensive. The aim of this study was to examine if adopting standards of reporting, the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT), improved the quality of reporting of alcohol treatment outcome studies. RCTs were identified from eight journals publishing a substantial number of alcohol treatment outcome studies (n=127 RCTs) and coded for the quality of reporting according to the CONSORT guidelines. Both CONSORT adopter and non-adopter journals showed significant improvements in the quality of reporting of alcohol treatment outcome studies over time. While overall results suggested a non-significant trend for more improvement over time in the quality of reporting for adopter compared to non-adopter journals, comparison of effects sizes suggested that specific areas of reporting did significantly improve for the adopter journals. Results suggest that efforts to improve reporting such as the CONSORT guidelines can be useful and influential.
报告随机对照试验（RCTs）必须透明和全面。本研究旨在检验采用报告标准（CONSORT）是否能提高酒精治疗结果研究报告的质量。从发表大量酒精治疗结果研究的 8 种期刊中确定 RCT（n=127 RCT），并根据 CONSORT 指南对报告质量进行编码。CONSORT 采用者和非采用者期刊在报告酒精治疗结果研究质量方面都随着时间的推移显著提高。尽管总体结果表明，与非采用者期刊相比，采用者期刊的报告质量随着时间的推移有更显著的改善趋势，但效果大小的比较表明，采用者期刊的报告确实在特定领域有显著改善。结果表明，像 CONSORT 指南这样的提高报告质量的努力是有用且有影响力的。
