To assess the reporting quality of systematic review (SR) abstracts published in leading general dental journals according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Abstracts (PRISMA-A) guidelines, and to identify factors associated with overall reporting quality.
We identified SR abstracts published in 10 leading general dental journals and assessed their reporting quality. For each abstract, an overall reporting score (ORS, range: 0-13) was calculated. Risk ratio (RR) was calculated to compare the reporting quality of abstracts in Pre-PRISMA (2011-2012) and Post-PRISMA (2017-2018) periods. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with reporting quality.
A total of 104 eligible abstracts were included. The mean ORS was 5.59 (SD = 1.48) and 6.97 (1.74) respectively in the Pre- and Post-PRISMA abstracts, with statistically significant difference (mean difference = 1.38; 95% CI: 0.70, 2.05). Reporting of the exact P-value (B = 1.22; 95% CI: 0.45, 1.99) was a significant predictor of higher reporting quality.
The reporting quality of SR abstracts published in leading general dental journals improved after the release of PRISMA-A guidelines, but is still suboptimal. Relevant stakeholders need to work together to enhance the reporting quality of SR abstracts in dentistry.
根据系统评价与Meta分析摘要的首选报告项目（PRISMA - A）指南，评估发表在主要牙科综合期刊上的系统评价（SR）摘要的报告质量，并确定与整体报告质量相关的因素。
我们确定了发表在10种主要牙科综合期刊上的SR摘要，并评估了它们的报告质量。为每篇摘要计算一个整体报告分数（ORS，范围：0 - 13）。计算风险比（RR）以比较PRISMA之前（2011 - 2012年）和PRISMA之后（2017 - 2018年）时期摘要的报告质量。进行单变量和多变量线性回归分析以确定与报告质量相关的因素。
共纳入104篇合格摘要。PRISMA之前和之后的摘要中，平均ORS分别为5.59（标准差 = 1.48）和6.97（1.74），差异有统计学意义（平均差异 = 1.38；95%可信区间：0.70，2.05）。精确P值的报告（B = 1.22；95%可信区间：0.45，1.99）是报告质量较高的一个显著预测因素。
PRISMA - A指南发布后，发表在主要牙科综合期刊上的SR摘要的报告质量有所提高，但仍未达到最佳水平。相关利益相关者需要共同努力，提高牙科领域SR摘要的报告质量。
