Following proposals in 1987 and 1988, several medical journals have provided more informative abstracts ("structured abstracts") for articles of clinical interest. Structured abstracts for original studies require authors to systematically disclose the objective, basic research design, clinical setting, participants, interventions (if any), main outcome measurements, results, and conclusions; and for literature reviews the objective, data sources, methods of study selection, data extraction and synthesis, and conclusions. More informative abstracts of this kind can facilitate peer review before publication, assist clinical readers to find articles that are both scientifically sound and applicable to their practices, and allow more precise computerized literature searches. We review the feasibility, acceptability, and dissemination of structured abstracts, reassess the underlying strategy, and describe modifications of the approach. This innovation can aid communication from scientists to clinicians, and other clinical journals are invited to join this effort.
继1987年和1988年提出相关建议后，几家医学期刊为具有临床意义的文章提供了信息更丰富的摘要（“结构化摘要”）。原创性研究的结构化摘要要求作者系统地披露研究目的、基础研究设计、临床背景、研究对象、干预措施（如有）、主要结局指标、结果和结论；文献综述则要求披露目的、数据来源、研究选择方法、数据提取与综合以及结论。这种信息更丰富的摘要有助于在发表前进行同行评审，帮助临床读者找到既科学合理又适用于其临床实践的文章，还能实现更精确的计算机化文献检索。我们回顾了结构化摘要的可行性、可接受性和传播情况，重新评估了其基本策略，并描述了该方法的改进。这一创新有助于科学家与临床医生之间的交流，我们邀请其他临床期刊加入这一努力。
