With the increasing number of randomized control trials being conducted and published in plastic surgery, complete reporting of trial information is critical for readers to properly evaluate a trial's methodology and arrive at appropriate conclusions about its merits and applicability to patients. The Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist was introduced to address the limited guidance for reporting trial interventions.
The authors applied the TIDieR checklist to evaluate the completeness of intervention reporting of randomized control trials in plastic surgery, compare the quality of intervention reporting before and after the guideline was published, and evaluate characteristics associated with TIDieR compliance.
A PubMed search identified 1 cohort published prior to the release of TIDieR and another published after its release. From the final sample, the TIDieR checklist was applied to intervention descriptions, and relevant study characteristics were extracted in a duplicate, blinded manner.
In total, 130 trials were included for analysis. The mean TIDieR score was 6.4 of 12. Five items were reported 90% of the time, and 4 items were reported less than 10% of the time. We found that TIDieR publication did not affect intervention reporting (P = 0.22).
Our study identified areas in which intervention reporting could be improved. The extent of TIDieR adoption by trialists appears to be limited, and greater efforts are needed to disseminate this reporting guideline if widespread uptake is to be expected. Alternately, it may be beneficial to incorporate TIDieR into the more widely recognized Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement.
随着整形手术领域进行并发表的随机对照试验数量不断增加，完整报告试验信息对于读者正确评估试验方法以及就试验的优点及其对患者的适用性得出恰当结论至关重要。为解决试验干预报告指导有限的问题，引入了干预描述与复制模板（TIDieR）清单。
作者应用TIDieR清单评估整形手术随机对照试验干预报告的完整性，比较该指南发布前后干预报告的质量，并评估与TIDieR合规性相关的特征。
通过PubMed检索，确定了1项在TIDieR发布之前发表的队列研究和另一项在其发布之后发表的队列研究。从最终样本中，将TIDieR清单应用于干预描述，并以重复、盲法的方式提取相关研究特征。
总共纳入130项试验进行分析。TIDieR平均得分为12分中的6.4分。5个项目的报告率为90%，4个项目的报告率低于10%。我们发现TIDieR的发布并未影响干预报告（P = 0.22）。
我们的研究确定了干预报告可以改进的领域。试验者采用TIDieR的程度似乎有限，如果期望广泛采用，需要做出更大努力来传播这一报告指南。或者，将TIDieR纳入更广泛认可的《报告试验的统一标准》声明可能会有所帮助。
