Guidance to authors is needed to prevent their waste of talent, time and resources in writing manuscripts that will never be published in the highest-quality journals. Laboratory studies are probably the most common type of endodontic research projects because they make up the majority of manuscripts submitted for publication. Unfortunately, most of these manuscripts fail the peer-review process, primarily due to critical flaws in the reporting of the methods and results. Here, in order to guide authors, the Preferred Reporting Items for study Designs in Endodontology (PRIDE) team developed new reporting guidelines for laboratory-based studies: the Preferred Reporting Items for Laboratory studies in Endodontology (PRILE) 2021 guidelines. The PRILE 2021 guidelines were developed exclusively for the area of Endodontology by integrating and adapting the modified CONSORT checklist of items for reporting in vitro studies of dental materials and the Clinical and Laboratory Images in Publications (CLIP) principles. The process of developing the PRILE 2021 guidelines followed the recommendations of the Guidance for Developers of Health Research Reporting Guidelines. The aim of the current document is to provide authors with an explanation for each of the items in the PRILE 2021 checklist and flowchart with examples from the literature, and to provide advice from peer-reviewers and editors about how to solve each problem in manuscripts prior to their peer-review. The Preferred Reporting Items for study Designs in Endodontology (PRIDE) website (http://pride-endodonticguidelines.org/prile/) provides a link to the PRILE 2021 explanation and elaboration document as well as to the checklist and flowchart.
需要向作者提供指导，以防止他们浪费才华、时间和资源去撰写永远无法在高质量期刊上发表的稿件。实验室研究可能是牙髓病学研究项目中最常见的类型，因为它们构成了提交发表的大多数稿件。不幸的是，由于方法和结果报告中的严重缺陷，大多数这些稿件未能通过同行评审过程。在这里，为了指导作者，牙髓病学研究设计首选报告项目（PRIDE）小组为基于实验室的研究制定了新的报告指南：牙髓病学实验室研究首选报告项目（PRILE）2021 指南。PRILE 2021 指南是由牙髓病学领域的专家专门制定的，通过整合和改编改良后的牙科材料体外研究报告的 CONSORT 清单项目和临床与实验室出版物图像（CLIP）原则。制定 PRILE 2021 指南的过程遵循了卫生研究报告指南制定者的建议。本文件的目的是为作者提供 PRILE 2021 清单和流程图中每个项目的解释，并提供同行评审者和编辑关于如何在稿件进行同行评审之前解决每个问题的建议。牙髓病学研究设计首选报告项目（PRIDE）网站（http://pride-endodonticguidelines.org/prile/）提供了与 PRILE 2021 解释和说明文件以及清单和流程图的链接。
