In 2017, the International Standard for Reporting Items for practice Guideline in HealThcare (RIGHT) published reporting guidelines to enhance transparency and clarity in the process of developing clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). Given the original tool was developed in 2017 and demanded in developing and reporting high quality of acupuncture CPGs, an extension with a focus on a specific reporting checklist was warranted.
The study was designed based on the methodology recommended by the Enhancing the Quality and Transparency Of Health Research (EQUATOR) Network with modification accordingly. A reporting checklist and its elaboration and explanations for users were developed.
A checklist of seven sections (Basic information, Background, Evidence, Recommendations, Funding, Declaration and management of interest, Other information), twenty-three first level items and forty-three second level items was developed. We clarified the rationales of the items and provided explanations and examples of each item for additional guidance.
The RIGHT for Acupuncture checklist identifies a set of items to be reported when reviewing clinical practice guidelines on acupuncture. This extension can be expected to improve the reporting quality of CPGs on acupuncture.
2017 年，国际实践指南报告标准（RIGHT）发布了报告指南，以提高临床实践指南（CPG）制定过程的透明度和清晰度。鉴于最初的工具是在 2017 年开发的，并且需要开发和报告高质量的针灸 CPG，因此有必要扩展并侧重于特定的报告清单。
该研究基于 EQUATOR 网络推荐的方法学进行设计，并进行了相应的修改。开发了一份报告清单及其对用户的阐述和解释。
开发了一份包含七个部分（基本信息、背景、证据、建议、资金、利益声明和管理、其他信息）、二十三个一级项目和四十三个二级项目的清单。我们澄清了项目的理由，并为每个项目提供了额外的指导解释和示例。
RIGHT for Acupuncture 清单确定了在审查针灸临床实践指南时需要报告的一组项目。这一扩展有望提高针灸 CPG 的报告质量。
