Inaccurate reporting of data hampers the generalizability and the correct interpretation of results of scientific medical papers. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) and Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) initiatives, both included in the Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research (EQUATOR) international network, have elaborated appropriate guidelines in order to improve the transparence, clearness and completeness of scientific literature. The CONSORT statement consists of a 25 items checklist and a flow-chart diagram which provide guidance to Authors on how to report randomized clinical trials. The STROBE is a checklist of 22 items which should be addressed when observational studies (case-control, cohort and cross-sectional) are made up. Many editorial committees and prestigious international journals have now embraced these guidelines to improve the quality and methodology of their scientific reports.
数据报告不准确会影响科学医学论文结果的可推广性和正确解读。CONSORT（临床试验报告统一标准）和 STROBE（观察性研究的报告标准）倡议都包含在增强健康研究质量和透明度（EQUATOR）国际网络中，它们详细制定了适当的指南，以提高科学文献的透明度、清晰度和完整性。CONSORT 声明由 25 个项目检查表和流程图组成，为作者如何报告随机临床试验提供指导。STROBE 是一个 22 项检查表，当进行观察性研究（病例对照、队列和横断面）时应解决这些问题。现在，许多编辑委员会和著名的国际期刊都采用了这些指南，以提高其科学报告的质量和方法。
